Robert Martin Wahl (born March 21, 1992) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Oakland Athletics of Major League Baseball (MLB). He played college baseball for the Ole Miss Rebels.

Wahl attended West Springfield High School in Springfield, Virginia, where he played football, basketball, and baseball. When he enrolled at West Springfield, he began training with Brian Snyder, a former Major League Baseball (MLB) pitcher. As a senior, he pitched his high school's baseball team into the state championship game, finishing his high school career with a 28–1 win–loss record and 284 strikeouts. He was named the Virginia Class AAA Northern Region Player of the Year. The Cleveland Indians selected Wahl in the 39th round of the 2010 MLB Draft, but he did not sign.

Wahl enrolled at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss), where he played college baseball for the Ole Miss Rebels baseball team. Wahl suffered elbow tendinitis during his freshman season. Though he began his career as a starting pitcher, he returned from injury as a relief pitcher, and finished the season as the Rebels' closer. After his freshman year at Ole Miss, Wahl played collegiate summer baseball in the Cape Cod Baseball League as a closer, where he was named an All-Star. After his sophomore year, he joined the United States national collegiate baseball team, recording two saves in a five-game series against the Cuban national baseball team.
