Robert J. Agler (March 13, 1924 – September 16, 2005) was an American gridiron football player, coach of football and basketball, and college athletics administrator. He played professionally as a fullback and punter for the Los Angeles Rams of the National Football League (NFL) and the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League (CFL). Agler appeared in 16 games for the Rams from 1948 to 1949. With the Stampeders, Agler ran for two touchdowns and kicked 37 punts. Agler served two stints as the head football coach at his alma mater, Otterbein University in Westerville, Ohio, from 1955 to 1965 and 1970 to 1974, compiling a record of 74–63–5. He was also the head basketball coach at Otterbein from 1955 to 1958, tallying a mark of 13–39.

Agler graduated from Dublin High School in Dublin, Ohio in 1941 and then attended Otterbein, where he lettered in football, basketball, baseball, and track. In July 1952, he was hired as the head football coach at Johnstown High School in Johnstown, Ohio. The next year, he returned to Otterbein as an assistant football coach before succeeding Harry W. Ewing as the school's head football coach in 1955.
