Robert "Bob" Armstrong (1850 – ?) was an American professional baseball player. He played 12 of 21 games, eleven in center field, for the Fort Wayne Kekiongas in the first professional league, the 1871 National Association of Professional Base Ball Players (NAPBBP).

Previously Armstrong played three seasons for the Maryland club of Baltimore, Maryland in the National Association of Base Ball Players. The Marylands were a strong club among the hundreds of NABBP members but a weak club among the twelve that contested the first professional pennant race in 1869, or the second one in 1870. Armstrong was a Baltimore native like most of his Maryland teammates.
