Robert "Bob" McHugh (born 16 July 1991) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a forward. He has previously played for Motherwell, Queen of the South, Airdrieonians and Falkirk.
Born in Glasgow, McHugh made his Motherwell debut when he came on as a substitute in a 2–0 win over Hibernian in May 2008.
McHugh scored his first Motherwell goal when he took the field as a substitute in an 8–1 win over Flamurtari in the Europa League second round, scoring Motherwell's eighth goal in that match. He also scored the first goal as Motherwell beat Inverness CT 3–2 after extra time in the third round of the 2009–10 League Cup.
On 21 January 2011, McHugh joined First Division side Partick Thistle on loan until 27 March 2011. However, a broken wrist meant the loan would not happen, and so he stayed at the Fir Park club.
On 26 March 2013, McHugh signed a new two-year contract with Motherwell, lasting until summer 2015.
On 2 June 2015, Motherwell announced that McHugh was amongst the players leaving the club, with his contract having expired.
On 13 January 2014, McHugh signed a six-month loan with Dumfries club Queen of the South.
On 3 May 2014, McHugh scored a goal notable amongst supporters of Alloa Athletic by scoring a 95th-minute equaliser for Queen of the South against Cowdenbeath. McHugh's goal sent Cowdenbeath into the relegation play-offs and secured Alloa's place in the Championship.
