Robert Hamilton Kindred (May 11, 1940 – August 15, 2016) was an American jazz tenor saxophone player, composer and educator.

At 17, he joined Pennsylvania Sixpence, a band that played swing and Dixieland jazz, touring Europe and performing at various venues on the East Coast.

He later became a member of the Glenn Miller ghost band and performed as a soloist with Woody Herman, appearing with him at Carnegie Hall in New York City in 1975.

Under his own name, he released several albums starting in the 1980s, including the 2010 album Blue Moon (Venus Records), produced by Todd Barkan, featuring a rhythm section of George Mraz, Ben Riley, and John Di Martino, which included jazz standards such as "Body and Soul", "Do Nothing till You Hear from Me", "If You Could See Me Now", and "In a Sentimental Mood".

Together with his wife, in 2010, he was recognized as an honorary citizen of Ketchikan for his educational work and contributions to local jazz music.
