Robert Kozluk (born 5 August 1977) is an English former footballer who played primarily as a right-back.

Born in Mansfield, he came through the Derby County youth team ranks before turning professional in 1997 before joining Sheffield United in March 1999. He spent eight years with the Blades and made close to 250 appearances for the club, helping them to the Premier League at the end of the 2005–06 season. A three-year spell at Barnsley followed, after which he returned to Sheffield United for a further season, although he was a rarely used squad player by this time. He joined Port Vale on a short-term deal in September 2011 before signing with Bradford City for the remainder of the season in January 2012. He joined Ilkeston in January 2013 and retired in October.

Kozluk has also had loan spells at Huddersfield Town in 2000, Preston North End in 2005 and 17 days on loan at Wigan Athletic in 2001 where he failed to make a single first-team appearance. He was also capped twice for the England under-21s.
