Robert McMichael (1921 - 2003) was a Canadian art collector and philanthropist.

In 1955, McMichael and his wife Signe (died July 4, 2007) began collecting Canadian paintings by the Group of Seven and other Canadian artists, such as Tom Thomson. The couple established the McMichael Gallery in Kleinburg, northwest of Toronto, to display their collection, and donated their artworks to the gallery, which now contains some 6,000 Canadian works.
