Robert Takeo "Bob" Matsui (松井 ロバート武男 Matsui Robāto Takeo?) (September 17, 1941 – January 1, 2005) was an American politician from the state of California. Matsui was a member of the Democratic Party and served in the U.S. House of Representatives as the congressman for California's 5th congressional district until his death midway through his 14th consecutive term. The Robert T. Matsui United States Courthouse is named in his honor.
A third-generation Japanese American, Matsui was born in Sacramento, California, and was six months old when he and his family were taken from Sacramento and interned by the U.S. government at the Tule Lake War Relocation Center in 1942.
Matsui graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1963 with a BA in political science, and then graduated from Hastings College of Law in 1966. He founded his own Sacramento law practice in 1967.
