Robert Emmet O'Halloran (6 June 1888 – 1 December 1974) was an Australian politician. He was an Labor Party Member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly spanning 27 years, representing Eastern Suburbs between 1920 and 1927 and Orange between 1941 and 1947.
O'Halloran was born in Euchareena, New South Wales and educated at Christian Brothers' College, Waverley, Saint Ignatius' College, Riverview; and studied law at The University of Sydney from 1908–1909. He entered the New South Wales public service; eventually rising to become head of the Deceased Soldiers' Estate Department, Public Trustee's office on election to Parliament. He was a director of Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in 1931, Dental Hospital; president of Government employees' section clerks' Union; trustee of Sydney Cricket Ground.
In the 1927 split that divided the Labor Party, O'Halloran (Caucus Secretary at the time), sided with the McKell faction against Premier Jack Lang. O'Halloran subsequently lost endorsement for this move and was not pre-selected for the newly formed seats of Bondi, Coogee, Randwick, Vaucluse, Waverley and Woollahra. He remained on the outer until Lang's power waned. McKell, President of the Sydney Cricket Ground Trust, kept O'Halloran in his fold by appointing him as a fellow Trustee.
