Robert J. Bose (born 1932) is a Canadian politician. He served as Mayor of Surrey, British Columbia from 1988 until 1996. Bose was a member of the NDP affiliated Surrey Civic Electors party. Bose lost in the 1996 elections Doug McCallum, and his defeat was attributed to the unpopularity of the provincial NDP government at the time.

His grandfather, Henry Bose, who served as Mayor of Surrey from 1905–1910, owned a farm in Surrey which has since become a local landmark.
