Robert Leslie "Robbie" Cooke (born 16 February 1957) is a retired English footballer and manager who played as a forward in the Football League, most notably for Peterborough United and Brentford. He represented England C at international level while playing Non-League football. After retiring from football, Cooke managed Warboys Town and later became a scout.

Cooke began his career in the youth system at Division Three side Mansfield Town, making 9 appearances and scoring one goal in his debut season, in which the Stags won the 1976–77 Division Three title. He made only six appearances in Division Two during the 1977–78 season and departed the club at the end of the campaign, having made just 15 first team appearances for the club.

Cooke joined Southern League Division One North side Grantham in the summer of 1978, firing in 43 goals to propel the club to the divisional title. Cooke's performances saw him awarded the Supporters' Player of the Year award. Grantham moved to the Northern Premier League for the 1979–80 season and Cooke was on fire again, scoring 39 goals. He departed the Gingerbreads at the end of the campaign.
