Robert Mace (born 12 August 1958) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Hawthorn, St Kilda and the Brisbane Bears in the Victoria Football League (VFL) during the 1980s.
Originally from Frankston YCW, Mace started his VFL career at Hawthorn. He couldn't establish himself there so crossed to St Kilda in 1982 where he became a regular in the side for five seasons.
Mace was offloaded to the league's new club, Brisbane, in 1987 but he would only make one appearance. He represented Queensland at the 1988 Adelaide Bicentennial Carnival before returning to Victoria and finishing his career with the Frankston Football Club, whom he also coached.
