Robert Franciscus Eenhoorn (born February 9, 1968) is a Dutch former professional baseball player and manager. He played four seasons of Major League Baseball as a utility infielder for the New York Yankees and California/Anaheim Angels. On September 27, 1997, Eenhoorn became the first Dutch-born player to hit a home run in the major leagues since Jack Lelivelt in 1912. (Many other Dutch MLB players to have hit home runs were born elsewhere, mainly in the Netherlands Antilles, including Andruw Jones, Xander Bogaerts, and Ozzie Albies.)
From 2009 to 2014, Eenhoorn served as the technical director for the Netherlands national baseball team.
From 2014 to 2024, Eenhoorn was the general director of the Dutch football club AZ Alkmaar. In March 2015, he hired another former major leaguer, Billy Beane, as an advisor.
