Dr Robert Kaye Greville FRSE FLS LLD (13 December 1794 – 4 June 1866) was an English mycologist, bryologist, and botanist. He was an accomplished artist and illustrator of natural history. In addition to art and science he was interested in causes like abolitionism, capital punishment, keeping Sunday special and the temperance movement. He has a mountain in Queensland named after him.

Greville was born at Bishop Auckland, Durham, but was brought up in Derbyshire as his father, Robert Greville, became the rector of the small village of Edlaston and its nearby hamlet of Wyaston. Greville had an interest in these natural history since he was very young, but he originally studied medicine. Realising that he did not need an income he discarded his medical education and concentrated on Botany.

Greville was awarded a doctorate by the University of Glasgow in 1824. He gave a large number of lectures in the natural sciences and built up collections that were bought by the University of Edinburgh.

Greville married William Eden, 1st Baron Auckland's niece Charlotte Eden in 1816. In 1823 he began the illustration and publishing of the journal Scottish cryptogamic flora and also contributed other articles in the field. In addition to science he was interested in political causes like abolitionism, capital punishment, keeping Sunday special and the temperance movement.

In 1828 he received an honour when Mount Greville in Queensland was named in Greville's honour by a fellow botanist, Allan Cunningham. Mount Greville became part of an Australian National park in 1948 and is now part of Moogerah Peaks National Park. The aboriginal name for Mount Greville and the area around it (including Cunninghams Gap) is Moogerah which gave its name to the Park.
