Robert A. Dupuis (born August 26, 1952) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey goaltender who played in one National Hockey League (NHL) game for the Edmonton Oilers during the 1979–80 NHL season. The Oilers lost 5-3 to the Philadelphia Flyers on March 9, 1980, with Dupuis conceding four of those goals. Dupuis was one of six goalies used by the Oilers during the season.

Dupuis represented Canada at the 1980 Winter Olympics held in Lake Placid, where he was the goalie in three games; a win versus Netherlands, and two losses in decisive games against Finland and Czechoslovakia.

Prior to 1980, he had played for five years in the senior Ontario Hockey Association with the Cambridge Hornets and Barrie Flyers, and had previous experience in junior B (North Bay Trappers) and semi-pro minor leagues.

Dupuis retired from hockey in 1981, moved to North Bay, Ontario and worked for the police department as a 9-1-1 dispatcher.
