  • Robert Dundas, 2. vikomt Melville (Robert Saunders Dundas, 2nd Viscount Melville, 2nd Baron Duniry) (14. března 1771, Edinburgh – 10. června 1851, Melville Castle, Skotsko) byl britský státník ze starobylého skotského rodu Dundasů. Patřil k toryům a významným politikům přelomu 18. a 19. století, v několika funkcích byl členem britských vlád. Byl historicky nejdéle úřadujícím ministrem námořnictva (prvním lordem admirality) (celkem 17 let) a díky tomu jeho jméno nese řada lokalit objevených v té době. Celý život se také věnoval záležitostem v rodném Skotsku, kde zastával řadu čestných funkcí. (cs)
