Robert Catlin (born 22 June 1965) is an English-born Australian former professional football (soccer) player who played in the Football League for Notts County and Birmingham City[1] and played more than 300 games in the Australian National Soccer League.

[2] Catlin and compatriot Shaun Murphy joined Notts County in August 1992 for a total fee of £137,000.

In March 1993 he joined Birmingham City on loan, but after his first game it transpired that the club had mistakenly signed him instead of the Notts County youth goalkeeper they had watched.

[3] In November 1993, Notts County was fined £20,000 for irregularities in the transfer of Catlin and Murphy, relating to payments made to a third party other than the players' clubs.

[6] In December 2000, he became the first NSL keeper to record 100 clean sheets when Newcastle United held league leader South Melbourne to a 0–0 draw in his 325th national league match,[7] going on to set a record of 105 clean sheets which in 2003 was beaten by Jason Petkovic.
