Robert Hughes (Robin Ddu o Fon) (c.1744–1785) was a Welsh poet.
[1] Ultimately Hughes's health failed; he returned to Wales, acted as a schoolmaster at Carnarvon, and died of consumption 27 February 1785, aged 41.
He was buried in the parish churchyard of Llanbeblig, Carnarvonshire, where the Society of Gwyneddigion, of which he was a founder, erected a monument to his memory.
[1] Hughes's Cywydd Molawd Mon, and a couple of englynion appeared with a brief biographical notice by the vicar of Llanllyfni, Carnarvonshire, in the Diddanwch Teuluaidd, 1817.
