Robert Louis Rankin (January 17, 1939 – February 24, 2014) was an American linguist and scholar of the Siouan languages. He is best known for his contributions to the preservation of the Kansa language and to the study of Proto-Siouan, the reconstructed last common ancestor of all Siouan languages. He has been described as one of the most influential Siouanists, mentoring numerous other linguists in the field; he was made an honorary citizen of the Sioux Nation for his language preservation efforts. Credited with single-handedly preserving the Kansa language, his ashes were given to the Kaw Nation following his death.
