Robert "Robbie" AhMat (born July 19, 1977), is a former Australian rules footballer.
Recruited from Darwin, AhMat had silky skills as a small forward. He debuted in 1995 and it was a surprise when he was cut from Collingwood at the end of 1997. Sydney recruited him and he played on until 2001, where inconsistency was the end of him.
In 1997 he was involved in an alleged racial vilification row with Essendon player Michael Prior.
A highlight of his career was in 1999, when the Swans took on the Kangaroos at the SCG. With the Swans behind by several goals and the ball on the half-back line, AhMat went for a run - taking several bounces before getting within goal-scoring range and kicking truly. The play sparked the Swans into action, and they went on to take the game by 2 points.
Now retired from football at AFL level, AhMat is back in Sydney and playing in the local Sydney AFL competition for St George Crows AFC.
