Robert Leslie Gehrke (25 April 1938 – 18 September 2007) was an Australian rugby league player.
A hooker, Gehrke played with Brisbane Valleys and Redcliffe in his native Queensland. He gained a national call up in 1961 for a tour of New Zealand, but was unable to displace Ian Walsh as Test hooker and featured in only the minor matches.

Gehrke served as an Australia Army corporal and was based for a time in Papua New Guinea.
