Robbert Klomp (born 14 May 1955) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Sturt in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL), and with Carlton and Footscray Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Klomp was born in the Netherlands and raised in South Australia. He began playing for Sturt in 1973 and was a key contributor to their premierships in 1974 and 1976. In 1979 Klomp was signed by Carlton and played for them as a defender during his five seasons at the club. He was a member of Calrton's premiership teams in 1979 and 1982. Partway through the 1983 season he crossed to Footscray and played until the next season. He returned to Adelaide for one final season with Sturt in 1985, achieving the 200 game milestone with the Double Blues that year. During his career he also played seven times for South Australia. Klomp's brother Kim played for SANFL clubs Sturt and North Adelaide.

Klomp is remembered by some for being awarded a television set by Channel Seven commentators for being best afield in a night-series game at Waverley Park in 1981 despite having just six kicks, one mark and three handballs for the entire game.
