Robert John Haywood (3 March 1858 – 9 May 1922) was an English cricketer. He was born at Eltham in Kent and played one first-class cricket match for Kent County Cricket Club in 1878.[1][2][3]

He was, according to his Wisden obituary, "well known in metropolitan cricket"[4] and died at Eltham in May 1922 aged 64.[5] His oldest son Robert had a lengthy first-class career for Northamptonshire County Cricket Club and his younger son Archie played for Kent's Second XI before and after the First World War and coached at Taunton School.[1][4] His grandson, also called Robert, played one first-class match for Scotland in 1949.[6]
