Robert Swindell (born 22 January 1950) was an English cricketer.
He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm offbreak bowler who played for Derbyshire between 1972 and 1977.
Having represented the Second XI since 1968, Swindell made his County Championship debut in 1972 in a draw against Surrey.
He played little throughout the following five seasons and finished his first-class career with an expensive bowling return and little to show from his batting against an in-form Gloucestershire side.
Swindell was part of the Derbyshire tailend attack along with teammate Mike Hendrick during the early 1970s.
