Robert David Silk (born 23 August 1936) is a former Anglican Bishop of Ballarat in Australia.
Silk was educated at Gillingham Grammar School, Exeter University and St Stephen's House, Oxford and ordained in 1960. His first ministry positions were curacies at St Barnabas' Gillingham, and Holy Redeemer's Lamorbey after which he was priest in charge of the Good Shepherd's Blackfen.
Silk then held incumbencies as rector of Swanscombe and Beckenham before being appointed the Archdeacon of Leicester, a post he held until his ordination to the episcopate.
In November 2010, Silk signed a statement indicating that he was intending to join a proposed Roman Catholic Church's personal ordinariate for former Anglicans.
