Robert Cummin Katter (born Cummin Robert Katter, 5 September 1918 – 18 March 1990) was an Australian politician who served in the House of Representatives from 1966 to 1990, representing the National Party (originally named the Country Party).

With the outbreak of World War II, he served in the Australian Army as a lieutenant from 1940 and was promoted to captain in 1942.

Later he was proprietor of the local drapery business, menswear store and picture theatre in Cloncurry, Queensland.

However, Katter won on the third count, after Democratic Labor Party candidate Edward Bennett's preferences flowed mostly to him, allowing him to take the seat on a 15 percent swing, becoming only the second non-Labor member ever to win it.

This allowed him to consolidate his hold on the seat, and he became the first non-Labor candidate in four decades to win a primary vote majority in Kennedy.

[7] From 1976 to 1983, he was Chairman of the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Road Safety and was a strong advocate for the introduction of random breath-testing in Queensland and other states in which it had not already been implemented.

Katter was appointed by the Australian Tourist Commission as an ambassador to the United States for tourism after the success of the film "Crocodile" Dundee there in 1986.

He played a major role in establishing the Stockman's Hall of Fame at Longreach and was its founding chairman.
