Robert Somervell (18 May 1892 – 8 June 1967) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played eight first-class matches for Auckland between 1911 and 1922.[1]

Somervell was a batsman. He toured Australia with the New Zealand team in 1913-14, but made a pair in the only first-class match he played on the tour.[2] His highest first-class score was 74 not out for Auckland against Hawke's Bay in 1912–13.[3]

Somervell married Lulu Bates in the Auckland suburb of Devonport in March 1918.[4]
