Robert Dante Siboldi Badiola (born September 24, 1965 in Empalme Nicolich) is a retired football goalkeeper from Uruguay, who was nicknamed "Flaco" during his professional career. He currently is coach of Cruz Azul Hidalgo, a team in the Mexican Second Division.

He played professional club football in Uruguay, Argentina, Mexico, and Colombia.

In Mexico, he played for Atlas, Cruz Azul, Puebla and UANL Tigres.

In Tigres, he came to the team in 1995. That season, after years of government corruption, the team was relegated to Primera División A and privatized. Siboldi chose to stay, and was instrumental in returning the team to First Division within the year. He became an icon of the city of Monterrey and was nicknamed "La Boa". He played in Tigres for four years, until 1999.

He made his international debut on June 21, 1992 in a friendly against Australia (2-0). He obtained a total number of 34 international caps for the Uruguay national football team.
