Robert Eneas Lamberton (September 14, 1886 – August 22, 1941) was a Republican politician who served as Mayor of Philadelphia from 1940 to 1941.

He was born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and ran an unsuccessful campaign for Pennsylvania Governor in 1934. He ran successfully for Philadelphia mayor against Robert White, a Democrat, garnering 398,384 votes to White's 361,143.
