Robert "Bob" Mockler (1886–1966) was an Irish hurler who played as a midfielder for the Tipperary and Dublin senior teams from 1909 until 1924.
Mockler made his first appearance for the Tipperary team during the 1908 championship and was a regular member of the starting seventeen for the next few seasons. He subsequently enjoyed a decade long career with Dublin before retiring from the game after the 1924 championship. During that time he won three All-Ireland medals, five Leinster medals and one Munster medal. Mockler captained Dublin to the All-Ireland title in 1920.
Mockler began his club career with Horse and Jockey before later winning six county championship medals with Faughs in Dublin.
Mockler began his club hurling career with Horse and Jockey but enjoyed little success in his own native county.
By 1915 Mockler had joined the Faughs team in Dublin. He had a successful beginning with the team winning back-to-back championship medals in 1914 and 1915.
Three-in-a-row proved beyond Faughs, however, the team reached the championship decider once again in 1920. Mockler collected a third championship medal that year as Faughs emerged as county champions once again. It was the first of four-in-row with Mockler, the veteran of the team, playing a key role in all of those victories.
Mockler first came to prominence on the inter-county scene as a member of the Tipperary senior hurling team in 1908. He made his first appearance in that year's All-Ireland decider as Tipp faced Dublin. A 2-5 to 1-8 draw was the result on that occasion. Tipperary won the replay, however, Mockler played no part in the replay.
