Robert Fisher Tomes (4 August 1823 – 10 July 1904) was an English farmer and zoologist.
Tomes was born in Weston-on-Avon and farmed at Welford, Gloucestershire.
His writings included the sections on insectivora and Chiroptera in the second edition of Thomas Bell's History of Quadrupeds.
His interest in ornithology waned, and he resigned from the British Ornithologists Union in 1866.
His contributions to the two Victoria County Histories were his only significant ornithological works.
