Robert Malval (born July 11, 1943 in Port-au-Prince) was the prime minister of Haiti from August 30, 1993 to November 8, 1994.

An industrialist and business leader of Lebanese descent,[2] Malval was appointed on August 16, 1993 by the President-in-exile, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who gave Malval the task of reconciling the feuding parties.[3] He defied the Army-backed president, Émile Jonassaint.[4] In December 1993, he resigned his post and criticized Aristide as an "erratic" figure who was hampering efforts to solve the political crisis.[5]

His predecessor was Marc Bazin; his successor was Smarck Michel.
