Robert Edward Mulvee (born February 15, 1930) is an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Bishop of Wilmington, Delaware (1985–1995) and Bishop of Providence, Rhode Island (1997–2005).
Robert Mulvee was born in Boston, Massachusetts, to John F. and Jennie T. Mulvee. He studied at St. Thomas Seminary in Bloomfield, Connecticut; St. Paul University in Ottawa, Ontario; and American College at Louvain in Belgium. While at Louvain, he was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Manchester, New Hampshire, on June 30, 1957.
Mulvee did pastoral work for several years before furthering his studies in Europe, earning a doctorate in canon law from the Pontifical Lateran University in Rome (1964) and a Master's degree in religious education from the University of Louvain. Following his return to the United States, he was named assistant chancellor of the Manchester Diocese and in 1966 a Papal Chamberlain.
