Robert Murphy (born June 9, 1981) is an AFL player who was drafted to the Western Bulldogs with pick 13 in the 1999 National Draft. Murphy has played many positions throughout his career but during the 2005 season he cemented a place as a small Centre Half Forward. He kicked 33 goals from this position and his overhead marking and leading ability were invaluable to the team. As part of the leadership group he led his younger team mates by great example across the half forward line.
On May 26, 2006 Murphy injured his Anterior cruciate ligament in the Bulldogs' 34-point loss to Collingwood. This injury caused him to miss the remainder of the 2006 season.
