Robert Nimmo (February 5, 1922 – November 7, 2005) was an American military officer and politician who served as the Administrator of Veterans Affairs from 1981 to 1983.

He flew missions over France and Germany in World War II, but was shot down over Poland and interned in Sweden for three months.

He commanded Camp San Luis Obispo and served as the United States Property & Fiscal Officer, and retired as a colonel.

He referred to veterans groups as "greedy", and to Agent Orange as not much worse than a "little teenage acne", although his supporters argued that these quotes were taken out of context.

[6] As VA Administrator, Nimmo was also accused of excessive expenditures on redecorating his office, leasing an expensive sedan as his official vehicle, and improperly using the employee designated as his driver.
