Robert John O'Dea (27 January 1930 – 16 July 1986) was a New Zealand rugby union player. A flanker, O'Dea represented Thames Valley at a provincial level, and was a member of the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, on their 1953–54 tour of Britain, Ireland, France and North America. He played five matches on that tour but did not appear in any internationals.[1]

O'Dea's grandsons, Edwin, Ben and Sam O'Dea, are noted beach volleyball players.[2]
