Robert Souter (5 January 1905 — 1 January 1976) was a New Zealand international rugby union player.

Born in Cambusnethan, Scotland, Souter immigrated to New Zealand as a teenager in 1919.[1]

Souter was a forward, short but sturdy and fast in the open.[2] He played his club rugby for the Dunedin-based Alhambra and competed for Otago at provincial level, gaining 26 caps. In 1929, Souter won All Blacks selection as a hooker on the tour of Australia, where he made four uncapped appearances.[3]
