Robert Clyde Bitmead (born 17 July 1942) is an Australian former cricketer and coach who played for Victoria between 1966 and 1968.[1] A slow left-arm bowler known for bowling off the wrong foot, Bitmead played 16 first-class matches for Victoria and for the Australians, playing for the latter on their tour of New Zealand in 1967.[2] He also represented Fitzroy in Victorian Premier Cricket.

Following the end of his playing career Bitmead coached at Fitzroy and Richmond, as well as the Victoria and Australia under-19 teams.

In January 2022 a number of former players made allegations of sexual misconduct against Bitmead during his time coaching both the Victoria and Australia under-19 teams.[3]
