Roberto Tomás Kelly Vásquez (20 June 1920 – 7 December 2012) was a Chilean naval officer, businessperson, consultant and political figure who served as a senior civilian collaborator of the military government led by General Augusto Pinochet. He was a leading organiser of the group of liberal economists who drafted El ladrillo, the influential document that shaped Chile's market-oriented economic reforms from the mid-1970s onward.

Kelly served as Head of the National Planning Office (ODEPLAN) from 1973 to 1978 and later as Minister of Economy from 1978 to 1979.
