Robert E. Mnuchin (born 1933) is an American art dealer and former banker. After a 33-year career with Goldman Sachs, he retired to fund the Mnuchin Gallery in New York City.

As an art dealer, Mnuchin is particularly known for his long association with Dutch-American abstract painter Willem de Kooning.[1][2] In 2019, he set a record for the most money paid for a work by a living artist by bidding $80 million for Jeff Koons' Rabbit.[1]

Mnuchin is the father of Steven Mnuchin, who was the United States Secretary of the Treasury in the first Trump administration.[1]
