Robert Burns Woodward, född 10 april 1917 i Boston, Massachusetts, död 8 juli 1979 i Cambridge, Massachusetts, var en amerikansk kemist. Woodward belönades 1965 med Nobelpriset i kemi "för hans förtjänster om den organiska synteskonstens utveckling". Han belönades för att han på kemisk väg lyckades syntetisera en lång rad komplicerade naturprodukter, bland annat kortison. Bakom dessa framgångar låg en helt ny syn på den organiska kemin, där han införde fysikalisk-matematiska metoder i en vetenskap som dittills mer handlat om "slaskande på måfå".
