Robert Howley (born 13 October 1970 in Bridgend) is a former Welsh rugby union player and former caretaker head coach of Wales.
He gained 59 caps for Wales, 22 of them as captain. Howley made his Wales debut in February 1996.
He was selected for the 1997 British Lions tour to South Africa, prompting speculation of a match-up with the Springboks' Joost van der Westhuizen, but Howley was injured. Howley did make the 2001 British and Irish Lions tour to Australia and played in the first two tests before succumbing to injury. Howley moved from Cardiff to Wasps and retired from international rugby.
A wrist injury saw Howley announce his retirement from the game in 2004.
