Robert Leavitt (1883 - ?) was an American athlete, winner of 110 m hurdles at the 1906 Summer Olympics.

Robert Leavitt, from Williams College, never won any major tournament except the Olympic Games.

At Athens, the main favourite to the high hurdles gold was American Hugo Friend, but he stumbled against the first hurdle and was out. Leavitt and Alfred Healey from Great Britain leaped over the hurdles in one rythm and finished in the same time. After the great discussion, the officials decided that Leavitt had won by one foot.
