Robert Dale Price (September 7, 1927 – August 24, 2004), known as Bob Price, was a Republican U.S. representative from Pampa, Texas, who served from 1967 to 1975. He was subsequently from 1978 to 1981 a member of the Texas State Senate.
Considered to have been among the most conservative members of his party, Price was only the second Republican since Reconstruction to hold the 18th District U.S. House seat. The first Republican representative from the since reconfigured district, Ben H. Guill, also of Pampa, held the seat for eight months in 1950.
Price was born to Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin F. Price, Sr., in rural Reading in Lyon County in eastern Kansas. He was educated in the Reading public schools and in 1951 received his bachelor's degree from Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma. After graduation, he married the former Martha A. "Marty" White.
From 1951 to 1955, Price served in the United States Air Force. He flew twenty-seven combat missions during the Korean War and received the Air Medal.
The Prices moved to Texas after his discharge from the Air Force. Throughout his adult life, he owned and operated a ranch near Pampa, the seat of Gray County, located northeast of Amarillo. The ranch was located in portions of four counties and had been in the Price family since 1907.
