Robert Charles Hendley (born April 30, 1939) is a retired American professional baseball player. A left-handed pitcher, he appeared in all or parts of seven seasons in Major League Baseball for the Milwaukee Braves (1961–1963), San Francisco Giants (1964–1965), Chicago Cubs (1965–1967) and New York Mets (1967).
Hendley is best known for being the losing pitcher on the day Sandy Koufax threw his perfect game. He was nearly as brilliant, having a no-hitter until the seventh inning, giving up only one hit and one unearned run that scored on a throwing error by his catcher, Chris Krug.
