Robert Blake (27 de setembro de 1598 - 17 de agosto de 1657) foi um importante comandante naval da Inglaterra e um dos almirantes ingleses mais famosos do século XVII. Seus sucessos foram considerados "nunca foram superados, nem mesmo por Nelson", de acordo com um biógrafo. Blake é reconhecido como o principal fundador da supremacia naval da Inglaterra, um domínio subsequentemente herdado pela Marinha Real Britânica no início do século XX. Apesar disso, devido a tentativas deliberadas de expurgar os parlamentares da história após a Restauração, as conquistas de Blake tendem a não receber o reconhecimento completo que merecem.
