Robert Eric Guglielmone (born December 30, 1945) is an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church serving as the thirteenth and current Bishop of Charleston, South Carolina.

Robert Guglielmone was born in New York City to Frank and Caroline Guglielmone. One of three children, he has two brothers, Nicholas and Tito. He was raised on Long Island and attended St. John's University in Queens, from where he obtained a Bachelor's degree in Education. He then taught at Patchogue-Medford High School for five years while also doing his graduate work at New York University.

Guglielmone, feeling a call to the priesthood, entered Immaculate Conception Seminary in Huntington and earned a Master's in Divinity before being ordained on April 8, 1978. He then served as assistant pastor at St. Martin of Tours Church in Amityville and at St. James Church in Setauket.

In 1986, he was named director of pastoral formation and dean of seminarians at Immaculate Conception Seminary. He became pastor of St. Frances de Chantal Church in Wantagh in 1993, and was raised to the rank of Monsignor in 1996.
