Robert William Speck[3] (April 16, 1915 – April 5, 1972) was a Canadian politician who was the first Mayor of the Town of Mississauga, and the town's only elected mayor.[2] Speck died while in office and Reeve Chic Murray was appointed by the town's council to take his place.[4]

Robert Speck Parkway, a short road in central Mississauga leading to Square One Shopping Centre, is named in his honour.[5]
