Robert ("Bob") Charles Bryan (born on April 29, 1978 in Camarillo, California) is an American male professional tennis player. Bob stands 6'4" (193 cm) tall, weighs 202 lbs, and plays left-handed. He turned Pro in 1998.

He played for Stanford University in 1997 and 1998, where he helped the Cardinal win back-to-back NCAA team championships. In 1998, he won the 'Triple Crown' by taking the NCAA singles, doubles (with his twin brother Mike) and team titles. He was the first man to accomplish this since Stanford's Alex O'Brien did it in 1992.

Together with his twin brother Mike (who is the younger by two minutes at birth) he has been very successful in doubles. He has won 25 titles, including five Grand Slam titles. In 2005, he and Mike made it to the finals of all the 4 Grand Slam tournaments, only the second time such a feat has been achieved in the Open era. In 2006, the Bryan brothers won Wimbledon and the Australian Open and achieved a career grand slam. They repeated their Australian Open victory in 2007. The Bryan Brothers are currently ranked #1 in the ATP. Twice they were No. 1 team at the end of a season; in 2004 and 2005.
