Robert Lloyd "Bobby" Dye (born May 16, 1937) is an American former basketball coach.
Born in Los Angeles, Dye graduated from Downey High School of nearby Downey, California in 1956. Dye enrolled at Fullerton Junior College and played on the basketball team there from 1956 to 1958. He transferred to Idaho State University and played on the Bengals basketball team from 1960 to 1962 and graduated from Idaho State in 1962.
Dye returned to the Los Angeles area after earning his degree and served as head boys' basketball coach at St. John Bosco High School of Bellflower, California from 1962 to 1965. St. John Bosco made a school-high 18-7 record in the 1963–64 season. From 1965 to 1967, Dye was an assistant coach at Cerritos Junior College. Dye again became a head coach in 1967, this time at Santa Monica City College (which became Santa Monica College in 1971). Santa Monica won the 1972 California junior college championship with a 26-5 record, and Dye had a 115-50 overall record in seven seasons (1967–1973) with Santa Monica.
In 1973, Dye became head men's basketball coach at Cal State Fullerton, a program then in transition from NCAA Division II to Division I. Cal State Fullerton moved to Division I by the 1974–75 season and was a member of the Pacific Coast Athletic Association (PCAA). Dye coached Cal State Fullerton to the 1976 PCAA regular season title and 1978 PCAA tournament championship, and Cal State Fullerton made the West Regional Final of the 1978 NCAA tournament in what was considered a Cinderella run. Dye had a 110-77 record in seven seasons with Cal State Fullerton from 1973 to 1980.
