Robert David O'Brien (June 22, 1917 – November 18, 1977) was an American professional football player who was a quarterback in the National Football League (NFL) with the Philadelphia Eagles for two seasons. He played college football for the TCU Horned Frogs, where he won the Heisman Trophy and the Maxwell Award in 1938, the first quarterback to win either. He was the fourth overall pick of the 1939 NFL draft. O'Brien was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1955.

Since 1981, the Davey O'Brien Award is given annually to the best quarterback in college football.
