Robert Eugene LaMotte (February 15, 1898 – November 2, 1970) was a professional baseball infielder who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Washington Senators (1920–1922) and the St. Louis Browns (1925–1926). He played primarily as a shortstop, but also played about one-third of his games as a third baseman.

After his playing career ended, LaMotte was a manager for the minor league Savannah Indians in 1936 and Macon Peaches in 1946.
