Robert Desimone (* 1952) ist ein US-amerikanischer Neurowissenschaftler.

Derzeit ist er Direktor des McGovern Institute for Brain Research und Doris and Don Berkey Professor of Neuroscience am Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Eines seiner Forschungsgebiete ist die visuelle Aufmerksamkeit.

Er studierte an der Princeton University bei Charles Gross. Später arbeitete er am National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), unter anderem mit Earl K. Miller. Weitere Zusammenarbeiten waren mit Leslie Ungerleider und Pascal Fries.
