Robert Ayling (dates unknown) was an English cricketer who made two appearances in 1796, both for Kent against Middlesex. He scored a total of 22 runs in his four innings, with a highest score of 11.

He is known to have played for Woolwich Cricket Club in a match in 1806 against Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at Lord's Old Ground and for a 23-man Kent in an odds match in 1807 against England (i.e., the "rest" of England) at Penenden Heath. William Ayling, who was possibly his brother, played in both of these matches for the same team.
