Robert Arnold Anderson (22 January 1936 – 24 October 1996) was a New Zealand politician. He was a National Party MP from 1987 to 1996.

Anderson was born in Epsom, England on 22 January 1936, and educated in England and Southern Rhodesia. He was a local board chairman from 1983 to 1987 and a member of the Local Government Commission.[1]

He was first elected to Parliament in the 1987 election as MP for Kaimai, replacing Bruce Townshend. He left Parliament at the 1996 election. He had been selected as National candidate for the new seat of Coromandel which replaced Kaimai, but withdrew due to illness (cancer).
