Robert Grey, also known as Robert Gotobed (born April 21, 1951, Marefield, Leicester), is an English drummer and one of the founding members of post-punk band Wire.

Grey’s musical life started in 1975, when he became the singer in the London-based R’n’B band The Snakes. He began teaching himself how to drum after The Snakes (whose members Nick Garvey and Richard Slaughter went on to form The Motors) broke up in 1976: "Richard, the drummer, and I had built this rehearsal studio across the road from where I lived. The drums were in there and I realised I was more in love with drumming than singing. But I couldn’t drum. So I just practiced and learnt how to keep in rhythm." Having met Wire singer and guitarist Colin Newman at a party, Grey joined Wire for a rehearsal after which the other members invited him to stay.

In addition to his work with Wire, Grey played drums on "Rat City", a 1977 track by British punk band The Art Attacks. In 1980, with Wire on hiatus, Grey contributed the drum tracks for Colin Newman’s first solo album A-Z before joining Frank Tovey aka Fad Gadget as a live drummer for a tour of Britain, Holland, and Germany in late 1980 and early 1981. In 1981, Grey also recorded the drums for Newman's second solo album Not To and the drum track for "Manual Dexterity" on Fad Gadget's album Incontinent for which Gadget listed him as a co-writer. In the summer of 1981, Grey felt he had reached a turning point in his life and began doing volunteer work on organic farms to gain experience in the field: "I feel that drumming is not that far removed from farming really. It's the foundation."

Wire reconvened in 1984 to work on new material, but Grey initially continued working part-time on various organic farms across Britain until 1986, when the band entered what they recall as their "Beat Combo" phase of extended touring and recording. Having Grey on board was essential for Wire, as guitarist Bruce Gilbert explained at the time: "We wouldn't have got another drummer. We would have called ourselves Wir, left the 'e' off. It would have been a recording project, not a living, breathing project." However, Grey – described by Douglas Wolk as "a human drum machine with a crisp, trebly slam, precise and skeletal" – would become increasingly frustrated with Wire's exploration of sampling and sequencing that started with The Ideal Copy and culminated in Manscape.

Grey left Wire after the recording of Manscape in 1990 once again taking up organic farming in Leicester.

In the fall of 1996, he became the percussion player for The Brood, a project conceived by Susan Stenger (Band of Susans) for the American Independents Festival at London’s South Bank Centre. Other members included Justine Frischmann, Sonic Boom (Spacemen 3), and Robert Poss (Band of Susans). On November 6, 1996, the ensemble performed pieces by avant-garde composers LaMonte Young, Alvin Lucier, Phill Niblock, and Rhys Chatham at the Purcell Room.
