Robert George Krulock "Ken" Waley (26 November 1889 – 10 September 1939) was an Australian coxswain who competed in the 1912 Summer Olympics.

In 1910 and 1911 he steered the New South Wales crews to victory in the men's eight at the annual Australian Interstate Regatta.

[7] As an Australasian representative crew, they then travelled to Stockholm, Sweden for the 1912 Summer Olympics, where after beating a Swedish crew in the first round,[8] they were then knocked-out in the quarter-final by the same Leander eight they had defeated at Henley a few weeks earlier.

[10] Waley enlisted late in WWI as he neared age 30 and gave his occupation as a company manager.

He served in the Flying Corps and was promoted from Private to Sergeant during his short service period.
