LordRobert Rich (sometimes incorrectly referred to as Richard Rich^{[note 1]}) (b. c. 1585 -d. 1630) was an English soldier and traveler.

Robert aspired to colonize Virginia, and set out in 1609 to the Jamestown, Virginia settlement. During thejourney, a tropical storm caused the ship, theSea Venture to be run aground on the reefs of the uninhabitedSt. George's Island, Bermuda. Along with Rich,George Somers,Thomas Gates,William Strachey,Silvester Jourdain, and other settlers were castaways.

Robert Rich wrote a "verse pamphlet","Newes from Virginia: the lost flocke triumphant."^{[note 2]}^[3] Along with the writings ofWilliam Strachey andSilvester Jourdain, became well known in England by 1610, when Thomas Gates andChristopher Newport retold the saga in London.^[4]^[5] In 1865 this work was rediscovered in aViscount Charlemont library in Ireland by Shakespeare researcher John O. Halliwell. Halliwell printed a small amount of copies for distribution.^[6]

Raised with a strong pious outlook, he and his brother (Nathaniel Rich, board member of theSomers Isles Company) were allies to thePuritans and to his cousin,Robert Rich, 2nd Earl of Warwick.^[7]

Robert Rich returned toBermuda in 1616 or 1617, and died there in 1630.^[8]
