George Robotham (January 10, 1921 – February 1, 2007) was an American stuntman and actor.

Robotham was born in 1921 and played American football at UCLA, where he was awarded a degree in business administration. He started his acting career as a stuntman and actor in Batman.

Following his role in Batman, he usually appeared as an uncredited role in many movies where he was also doing stunts. He was probably best known as the human sacrifice in The Prodigal. He also made appearances in historical films such as Joan of Arc, The Robe, Disney's The Great Locomotive Chase, The Ten Commandments and Spartacus.

Robotham was reported dead on February 1, 2007, from complications of Alzheimer's disease. He was married to German actress Karin Dor. He died in Bonn, Germany, at the age of 86.
