Robert George Morkot, FSA (born 1957) is an archaeologist and academic, specialising in Ancient Egypt.
[1] Morkot worked at the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology before completing a PhD at University College London (1983–1987) on the relations of Egypt with Kush between 1500 and 700 BC.
[2] Morkot contributed to the 1991 book Centuries of Darkness, edited by Peter James.
