Robert L. Turner (born May 2, 1941) is an American businessman and politician who served as the United States Representative for New York's 9th congressional district in the United States' 112th Congress (which includes portions of Brooklyn and Queens) from 2011 to 2013.
He is a member of the Republican Party.
Turner was elected in September 2011 to finish the term of Democrat Anthony Weiner, who had resigned after allegations of improper conduct. Turner had been known as a media executive for his success in the television talk show segment of the market.
In the November 2010 election, six years after retiring from his corporate career, he stepped into politics to run against Weiner: losing by 36% of the vote.
He defeated Democrat David Weprin 52–47 in the special election for Weiner's seat in less than a year—the first Republican to represent the area since 1923.
Turner ran for the Senate in 2012, but was defeated in the primaries, after his district was disapproved in redistricting.
In 2015, Turner was elected chairman of the Queens County chapter of the Republican Party.
In 2017, he was ousted as chairman.
