Robert P. McCulloch (born July 27, 1951) is an American former prosecutor who was the American prosecuting attorney for St. Louis County, Missouri from 1991 until 2019. A Democrat, McCulloch historically had bipartisan support as a prosecutor and won reelection in 1994, 1998, 2002, 2006, 2010 and 2014, often unopposed, but by wide margins when he had an opponent.

In 2018, he lost his bid for reelection in the Democratic primary to reformist challenger Wesley Bell by a 13.24% margin.

McCulloch was the chief prosecutor in office overseeing the case related to the shooting of Michael Brown, which attracted considerable controversy and media attention, both nationally and internationally.
