Bob Templeton, (17 July 1932 – 5 December 1999) was an Australian rugby union football coach and administrator. In a coaching career spanning five decades from the late 1950s to the early 1990s, he was in charge of the Queensland side for 23 seasons and appointed as head coach of Australia three times.

Early life and career
Templeton was raised at "Huntly", his father's sheep and cattle property near Clermont in Central Queensland. He attended Anglican Church Grammar School (Churchie) in Brisbane as a boarding student in the late 1940s where he became captain of the rowing team and played in the first XV rugby team for two years.

In 1950 after completing school, Templeton joined the Australian Estates Company which operated as a wool broker and stock and station agent. He was initially an auctioneer before being promoted into managerial roles. Templeton married Josephine (Jo) Seymour in the 1950s. Bob and Jo had three children: Ian, Jane, and Andrew.

Templeton later moved into the insurance business with National Mutual before starting his own company, Bob Templeton and Associates. He played first grade rugby for the GPS club in Brisbane in the 1950s. Templeton was primarily a prop and played for a Brisbane representative side, before knee and neck injuries curtailed his career and led him into rugby coaching and administration.
