Robert Meeropol (born May 14, 1947 as Robert Rosenberg) is an American anthropologist. He is the younger son of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. Meeropol was born in New York City. His father Julius was an electrical engineer and a member of the Communist Party USA. His mother Ethel (née Greenglass), a union organizer, was also active in the Communist Party USA.

In 1953, when Robert was six years old, his parents were convicted and executed for conspiracy to commit espionage, and specifically for passing secrets of the atomic bomb to the Soviet Union.
