Robert Shirley, Viscount Tamworth (28 December 1692 – 5 July 1714) of Staunton Harold, Leicestershire, was an English nobleman and politician. Robert Shirley was the eldest son of Hon. Robert Shirley (1673–1699) and his wife Anne Ferrers (d. 1698), and was born at Staunton Harold Hall. He inherited Tamworth Castle and other estates in Staffordshire upon his mother's death, and became heir apparent to his grandfather, Lord Ferrers of Chartley, when his father died the following year. He was styled Viscount Tamworth after 1711, when his grandfather was created Earl Ferrers.
