Robert L. "Bob" Dandridge (born November 15, 1947 in Richmond, Virginia) is a retired American professional basketball player out of Norfolk State University and Maggie L. Walker High School in Richmond, VA.

Named to the NBA All-Rookie Team in 1970, Dandridge was also an important part of the Milwaukee Bucks team that won the NBA championship in 1971 alongside the Hall-of-Fame duo of Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) and Oscar Robertson. Dandridge is usually mentioned as one of the NBA's best forwards in 1970s. He played a total 13 seasons in the NBA, nine of them with the Bucks as well as four with the Washington Bullets, with whom he won an NBA championship in 1978 while forming the frontcourt with another future Hall-of-Fame duo: Elvin Hayes and Wes Unseld.

In his career he averaged 18.5 points per game over 839 regular season games and 20 points per game in 98 playoff games and was a 4 time NBA all star. His dunk in Game 7 of the 1978 Finals sealed the Bullets championship victory.
