Robert Jauch (born November 22, 1945) is a retired American Democratic politician. He served 28 years in the Wisconsin State Senate (1987–2015) and four years in the State Assembly (1983–1987). He retired in 2015, citing the increased partisanship in the Legislature.[1][2]

He went to University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire and University of Wisconsin–Superior. He served as field representative for United States Representative David Obey.[3]
