**Robb Hawkins** (born 10 October 1957) is a former [Australian rules footballer](/source/Australian_rules_footballer), playing with [Geelong Football Club](/source/Geelong_Football_Club) in the [Victorian Football League](/source/Australian_Football_League) (VFL) and [South Adelaide Football Club](/source/South_Adelaide_Football_Club) in the [South Australian National Football League](/source/South_Australian_National_Football_League).

Hawkins is the brother of [Jack](/source/Jack_Hawkins_(footballer)) and [Michael Hawkins](/source/Michael_Hawkins_(footballer)) and the uncle of current Geelong player [Tom Hawkins](/source/Tom_Hawkins_(footballer,_born_1988)). Robb Hawkins joined South Adelaide in 1979 from Geelong reserves and gave the Panthers fine service. A high-leaping ruckman hailing from a farm in Finley, New South Wales, Hawkins had to wait a couple of seasons to become a League regular. He broke through in 1981, winning State selection and the Knuckey Cup as best and fairest. In total he played 115 games at South Adelaide, including two club [best and fairest](/source/Best_and_fairest) awards[1] but his time at Geelong was curtailed due to injury, only playing 3 games in 1984.[2]
