Robert Thomas Whitley (1837 26 October 1887) was an English cricketer. Whitley's batting style is unknown, though it is known he played as a wicket-keeper. He was born at Pimlico, London.

Whitley made a single first-class appearance for Surrey in 1873 against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge.[1] In a match which Nottinghamshire won by six wickets, Whitley scored 5 runs in Surrey's first-innings, before being dismissed by James Shaw.
