Robert Marsack Manser (10 October 1880 – 15 February 1955) was an English first-class cricketer and solicitor.

The second son of Frederick Manser, he was born at Tunbridge Wells in October 1880. He was educated at Tonbridge School, where he played for the school cricket team, before matriculating to Lincoln College, Oxford.

Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed in Hampshire's first innings for a single run by Johannes Kotze, while on their second innings he was dismissed without scoring by Jimmy Sinclair.
