Robert Malcolm Gwynn (26 April 1877 in Ramelton, County Donegal, Ireland – 25 June 1962 in Dublin) was an Irish cricketer. A right-handed batsman and right-arm slow bowler, he played once for the Ireland cricket team in 1901 and also played four first-class matches for Dublin University in 1895.
Gwynn made his first-class debut for Dublin University against the MCC on 20 May 1895 and three days later played for the MCC, against Ireland. He played three further first-class matches for the University throughout the year, two against Cambridge University and one against Leicestershire. Six years later, he played his only match for Ireland, a two-day match against South Africa in June 1901.
He once enjoyed the distinction of bowling W. G. Grace for a first ball duck.
Gwynn comes from a cricketing family. His brother John played first-class cricket in India, whilst two further brothers (Lucius and Arthur) also represented Ireland, as did his cousin Donough O'Brien. His nephew John also played for Dublin University.
