Captain Lord Robert Manners (6 February 1758 – 23 April 1782) was a Royal Navy officer and nobleman.

As the son of one of the greatest soldiers of the time, and grandson of a duke, he expected rapid advancement in rank.

Rodney lacked Sandwich's reservations about Manners, who proved a talented officer despite his ambition.

Under Admiral Rodney, Manners took her to the West Indies; Ogle was promoted rear-admiral and returned home during this period.
