{{for|the High Sheriff of Yorkshire of the twelfth century|Robert III de Stuteville}} {{Use dmy dates|date=October 2023}} {{Use British English|date=March 2012}} '''Robert de Stuteville''' (died 1283) was [[Bishop of St. Andrews|Bishop-elect of St Andrews]] and [[Bishop of Dunkeld]]. Robert was [[dean (religion)|dean]] of Dunkeld as early as 1253, when he was elected to the bishopric of [[St Andrews]] on 28 June that year. His election was opposed by the king, [[Alexander III of Scotland|Alexander III]], and by the bishopric's ''[[Culdee|Céli Dé]]'' chapter. The prior and the [[canon (priest)|canons]] sent Robert to Rome, but a delegation of the king, including [[Abel de Golynn]], was also sent, and the result was that Robert's election was quashed.
Robert remained dean in Dunkeld. In 1273, after the death of Bishop [[Richard de Inverkeithing]], Robert was elected to succeed him. In the following year, the Pope commanded the [[Bishop of Moray]], the [[Bishop of Aberdeen]] and the [[Bishop of Glasgow]] to investigate his election. The investigation was successful and led to his consecration. Robert probably died in 1283.
