Robert James Parins (August 23, 1918 – May 26, 2017) was an American lawyer, judge, and National Football League executive. He was president of the Green Bay Packers from 1982 to 1989, and served in various other leadership roles in the Packers organization. He previously served 14 years as a Wisconsin circuit court judge in Brown County (1968–1982) and served two years as district attorney (1949–1951). Later in life, acting as a reserve judge, he played a notable role in a case related to the American serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer.
He was elected president of the Green Bay Packers in 1982, serving as the first full-time president in team history. In recognition of his accomplishments, which included the formation of the Green Bay Packers Foundation, financial improvements, and facility expansion, Parins was inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame in 1998.
