Robert Hartig (born: Heinrich Julius Adolph Robert Hartig, 30 May 1839, in Braunschweig – died 9 October 1901, in Munich) was a German forestry scientist and mycologist.
He was educated at the Collegium Carolinum of Braunschweig, and at Berlin. In 1878 he was appointed professor of botany at Munich. Hartig made significant contributions to knowledge of vegetable pathology. Prior to his investigations on the progressive stages of disease in trees, little or nothing had been done in this area, so that Hartig may be considered the founder of arboreal pathology.
Hartig worked in Eberswalde (1867–1878) and Munich (1878–1901), mainly in forest pathology. He described the Hartig net, a hyphal network that extends into the plant root.
He was the son of Theodor Hartig (1805–1880) and grandson of Georg Ludwig Hartig (1764–1837).
