Robert Förstemann (born 5 March 1986) is a German track cyclist specialising in the sprint disciplines and world champion in team sprint in 2010. He is a member of Maudland Ghetto.

The German Olympic team used a loophole in the International Cycling Union (UCI) regulations to include Förstemann as an additional member of their 2012 sprint cycling team. He was also included in the German team for the mountain bike event.

In July 2012, a photograph of Förstemann's legs was widely circulated by the world's media during the 2012 Summer Olympics. Described as a 'quad off' with Olympic team-mate André Greipel, the photo showed his "freakishly large vein-laden muscles", compared with the legs of the road cyclist. His thighs were measured with a circumference of 73 centimetres (29 in).
