Robert "Bob" LaBonte (born c. 1950) is an American curler, a 1972 World Men's silver medallist[1] and a 1972 United States men's curling champion.

He currently lives in Minot, North Dakota and is employed as a stock broker.

[3] After the last shot of the 10th end came to rest, it appeared as though they had won, and LaBonte leaped in the air to celebrate, but upon his descent he burned (touched) a Canadian stone.

The stone was replaced and was found to be closer, giving Canada the point and forcing the game to an extra end, where Canada scored again, winning the match.
