Saint Robert of Bury (died 1181) was an English boy whose murdered body was said to have been found in the town of Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk in 1181 and whose death at a time of rising anti-Semitism was blamed on local Jews. He quickly became the focus of a martyr cult and it is likely this cult was a contributing factor in the later violent attack upon the Jews of Bury St Edmunds on Palm Sunday 1190, in which fifty-seven were killed. The whole Jewish community was afterwards expelled from the town.
