Robert O'Hara Livesay (27 June 1876 – 23 March 1946) was an English sportsman who played international rugby union for England and first-class cricket.

Livesay, a fly-half from Blackheath, played two Tests for England, both against Wales. They came in the 1898 Home Nations Championship and 1899 Home Nations Championship.[1]

A right handed batsman, Livesay played 26 first-class cricket matches for Kent, all but one of which came in the County Championship. The other was a fixture against the touring South Africans, at Canterbury in 1904, when he made a career best 78 in the first innings, before being run out.[2]
