Robert Cutler (1895 – 1974) was a U.S. administrator. He served as National Security Advisor between 1953 and 1955, and again from 1957 to 1958. A graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School and attorney and bank executive in Boston, Massachusetts before taking public office, he was the person to serve in the newly created position of National Security Advisor during the Eisenhower Administration.

Cutler was very involved with the Army during his career. He served as an infantry officer in World War I, and acted under Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson during World War II. Cutler was an amateur writer; he was Class Poet at Harvard, and authored two novels—The Speckled Bird and Louisburg Square—by the time he received his degree. An autobiography, No Time for Rest, was released in 1966. He was also referenced by Corporal Philip J. Corso, in his book "The Day After Roswell", in which he claims Cutler helped disseminate technology harvested from the 1947 Roswell UFO crash.
