Robert Smith (born January 16, 1974), is an American professional bowler currently on the Professional Bowlers Association Tour. A native of Simi Valley, California, Smith has previously held residence in Captain Cook, Hawaii and Columbus, Ohio and now he resides and works back in his home town of Simi Valley California.

An eight-time titleist (including 7 PBA Tour titles), he is considered by many to be the world's most powerful bowler. Smith's ball roll has been tracked as high as 27 revolutions per shot and traveling at up to 34 miles per hour (55 km/h) - the average professional achieves about 16 revolutions per shot, traveling at 18 miles per hour (29 km/h). This high rev-rate (up to 720 RPM) is more than most bowlers have been able to produce. Based on this characteristic, he was known on tour as "Maximum Bob."
