Robert Edward Finley (November 25, 1915 – January 2, 1986) was an American professional baseball catcher, who was an SMU back drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Finley played both baseball and football at Southern Methodist University from which he graduated in 1937.

Finley retired following the 1970 season; his last game was a Pittsburgh Steelers–Philadelphia Eagles matchup at Franklin Field December 20.

Finley wore uniform number 14 in 1970, which was claimed by line judge and future referee Gene Barth in 1971.

The other five members of Finley's 1970 crew remained with Frederic through the 1973 season, prior to Lepore's promotion to referee for 1974.

His major league debut came with the Phillies, in a 4th of July doubleheader against the Chicago Cubs at Shibe Park.
