Robert Donaldson Ormond (12 January 1931 – 15 November 2017) was a Scottish-born footballer who represented New Zealand at international level.

Ormond played for Falkirk,[1] Airdrieonians[2] and Dumbarton[3] in his native Scotland, before emigrating to New Zealand in 1961.[4] Ormond made his full All Whites debut in a 4–1 win over New Caledonia on 2 June 1962[5] and played his second and final official FIFA A-international two days later, also against New Caledonia, scoring in the 4–2 win.[6][7]

Ormond came from a successful footballing family. His brother Willie Ormond represented Scotland at the 1954 FIFA World Cup as a player and the 1974 FIFA World Cup as manager, and his brother Gibby Ormond also played professional football. Ormond's sons Ian Ormond and Duncan Ormond,[8] and granddaughter (Duncan's daughter) Vicki Ormond also represented New Zealand.[9]

In November 2016, Ormond was awarded the Friends of Football Medal of Excellence in recognition of his playing, coaching and media work in New Zealand football.[10]

Ormond died on 15 November 2017, aged 86.[11]
