Robert Wormeley Carter II (January 1, 1792 – October 27, 1861) was a Virginia planter who served multiple terms in both houses of the Virginia General Assembly. In his early and last terms, he represented his native Richmond County in the Virginia House of Delegates (as had his grandfather of the same name), then for eight years represented the counties of the Northern Neck of Virginia in the Virginia Senate (roughly the successor of the Governor's Council on which his great-great-grandfather, King Carter served for many years a century earlier).
