Robert Havenstein (born May 13, 1992) is an American former professional football player who spent his entire 11-year career as an offensive tackle for the St. Louis / Los Angeles Rams of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Wisconsin Badgers.

Havenstein committed to the University of Wisconsin–Madison on October 21, 2009. He held numerous Power 5 offers.

Havenstein played on Wisconsin's offensive line as a right tackle from 2010 through 2014. During his five seasons, Havenstein played in 54 games and started in 42 of them. Havenstein was a redshirt freshman in 2010. He played in 12 games in 2011, started every game for his remaining three years. In 2013, Havenstein was named 2nd-Team All-Big Ten Conference by the media. At the end of the 2014 season, he was named consensus 1st-Team All-Big Ten and 1st-Team All-American by the American Football Coaches Association. Havenstein was also the only Badgers player invited to play in the 2015 Senior Bowl.

Havenstein was drafted by the St. Louis Rams in the second round (57th overall) of the 2015 NFL draft. As a rookie, he started 13 games at right tackle and did not allow a sack all season. At the end of the season, Havenstein was named to Pro Football Writers of America's All Rookie Team with Rams' teammate Todd Gurley. In the 2016 season, Havenstein appeared in and started 15 games for the Rams.

On April 11, 2017, it was announced that Havenstein would be moved inside to guard after the signing of Andrew Whitworth, which would've moved left tackle Greg Robinson over to the right, Havenstein's previous position. However, after Robinson was traded to the Detroit Lions, Havenstein remained the Rams starting right tackle to start 2017. He appeared in and started 15 regular season games and the Rams' one postseason game.

On August 20, 2018, Havenstein signed a four-year contract extension with the Rams through the 2022 season. He started all 16 games in 2018 and helped Rams win 13 games and earned the second seed in the National Football Conference (NFC). The Rams defeated the Dallas Cowboys in the Divisional Round and the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship Game to reach Super Bowl LIII, where they would lose to the New England Patriots by a score of 13–3.

In the 2019 season, Havenstein started in the first nine games for the Rams before suffering a knee injury which ended his season.

In the 2020 season, Havenstein appeared in and started all 16 regular season games and both of the Rams' postseason games.
