Robert Smith Cunis (5 January 1941 – 9 August 2008) was a cricketer who played 20 Test matches for New Zealand as a pace bowler between 1964 and 1972, and was later coach of the New Zealand team from 1987 to 1990. His son Stephen played cricket for Canterbury between 1998 and 2006.

A sturdily-built fast-medium bowler, Cunis played for Auckland from 1960–61 to 1973–74, and for Northern Districts in 1975–76 and 1976–77.
