Robert Anderson Hall Jr. (April 4, 1911 – December 2, 1997) was an American linguist and specialist in the Romance languages. He was a professor of Linguistics at Cornell University and the first president of The Wodehouse Society (US). Hall was an early promoter of the linguistics of Creole languages, and published broadly within the field. Under the auspices of the United States Armed Services Institute, he wrote a structuralist description of Melanesian Pidgin English in 1943. Among other creoles and pidgin languages, he studied Sranan of Surinam and Haitian Creole.
