Robert Francis Goheen (August 15, 1919 – March 31, 2008) was an American academic, president of Princeton University and United States Ambassador to India.

He then attended Princeton University, where he won the Moses Taylor Pyne Prize and graduated summa cum laude with an A.B.

His training as an intelligence officer at Ritchie during the war, in part, helped Goheen reach the rank of lieutenant colonel.

"[5] Goheen was one of the first four students to receive a fellowship from The Institute for Citizens & Scholars, established at Princeton to encourage war veterans to pursue a career in teaching.

Faced with the social and political challenges of the 1960s, Goheen encouraged student involvement in decision-making processes and initiated active recruitment of minorities, as well as overseeing the admission of women in 1969.

He quadrupled the budget, doubled alumni giving and increased the number of faculty members by 40 percent.
