Robert N. "Punk" Berryman was a professional American football coach. He played as a halfback at Pennsylvania State University and was elected All-American in his senior year (1914-1915). He went on to coach at the University of Iowa, then at Dickinson College. In 1922 and 1923 he was an assistant coach at Colgate University. In 1924, he coached the Frankford Yellow Jackets, newly enfranchised to the National Football League, to a record of 11-2-1, good enough for only a third-place finish.
