Robert Gurney (31 July 1879 – 5 March 1950) was a British zoologist from the Gurney family, most famous for his monographs on ''British Freshwater Copepoda'' (1931–1933) and the ''Larvae of Decapod Crustacea'' (1942). He was not affiliated with any institution, but worked at home, initially in Norfolk, and later near Oxford. He travelled to North Africa and Bermuda, and received material from other foreign expeditions, including the ''Terra Nova'' Expedition (1910–1913) and the ''Discovery Investigations'' of the 1920s and 1930s.
