Robert Maćkowiak (born 13 May 1970 in Rawicz, Wielkopolskie[2]) is a former Polish sprinter.

Together with Tomasz Czubak, Jacek Bocian and Piotr Haczek he won the gold medal in 4 x 400 metres relay at the 1999 World Championships in Athletics.

The Polish team was one of the favourites to win a medal (after unstoppable U.S. really there were two main rivals: Jamaica and Bahamas).

His main rival was German runner Ingo Schultz who had best times in qualification runs.

Maćkowiak was a candidate for silver but he got an injury a few days before final and he lost all medal chances.
