Robert Patrick Barten Paine (April 10, 1926 – July 8, 2010) was a British-born Canadian anthropologist whose primary areas of study were the Saami people of northern Scandinavia and the Inuit, though he also published on topics as diverse as the Jewish settlers of the West Bank[1] and the purpose of gossip.[2] He served as chair of the combined departments of Sociology and Anthropology at Memorial University of Newfoundland.
