Sir Robert Rede KS (died 7 or 8 January 1519) was an English Chief Justice of the Common Pleas.
In 1486 he was made a Serjeant-at-law, followed by a promotion in 1494 to King's Serjeant, and an appointment in 1495 as a justice of the Court of King's Bench, where he sat for 10 years under Sir John Fineux, and was knighted for his services in 1501.
He was transferred to the Court of Common Pleas in 1506 and promoted to Chief Justice, a position he held until his death.
