Robert Bateman (born February 15, 1954) was an American football player. He played quarterback for the Vermont Catamounts football team.[1] He "had the dual distinct of being UVM's last quarterback and perhaps the school's best."[2] He earned several awards "including All-Yankee Conference, All-ECAC, All-New England, and All-America."[3] He transferred to Brown.[4]

The Cincinnati Bengals selected him in seventh round of the 1976 NFL Draft. He played with the Bengals, the New England Patriots, and the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League.[5]

He allegedly once played for UTEP under a pseudonym.[6]
