Robert James (Bob) Chinnock (born 3 July 1943) is a New Zealand-born[1] Australian botanist who worked at the State Herbarium of South Australia as a senior biologist. He retired in 2008 but still works as an honorary research associate.

His research interests include Eremophila[2] and related genera, the weedy Cactaceae, especially those in the genus Opuntia, and Australian ferns and clubmosses.[3]

His PhD thesis at Flinders University in 1982 was focused upon Myoporaceae,[4]
