Eugene Robert Black Sr. (May 1, 1898 – February 20, 1992) was an American banker who was president of the World Bank Group from 1949 to 1962.
He was the eldest son of Eugene Robert Black I, who served as the sixth chairman of the Federal Reserve from 1933 to 1934, during the height of the Great Depression. However, his father did not use the "Sr." suffix; Gene's son (the third in line) became Eugene Robert Black Jr.
