Robert J. Naiman (born 31 July 1947) is a professor in both the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences and the College of Forest Resources at the University of Washington in Seattle. He also holds the UNESCO Chair in Sustainable Rivers at the University of Washington. Dr. Naiman was designated Eminent Ecologist by the Ecological Society of America in 2012.

Dr. Naiman is best known for his work on the ecology of rivers and riparian areas. His work to understand the biogeochemical cycling and role of animals in altering river and riparian systems have been particularly influential. Dr. Naiman started researching the Queets River in Washington state in 1992 and has since been nicknamed "Dr. Queets" by the Seattle press from his continuing research on that river.
