Robert "Bob" Doherty (born 1891) was an Irish hurler who played as a left wing-back for the Clare and Dublin senior teams.[1][2]

Doherty made his first appearance for the Clare team during the 1913 championship and was a regular on the inter-county scene until his retirement from the Dublin team after the 1925 championship. During that time he won three All-Ireland medals, three Leinster medals and one Munster medal. Doherty was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.

At club level Doherty began his career winning two county club championship medals with Newmarket-on-Fergus. He later won four county club championship medals with Faughs.
