Robert Lee Warlick (March 20, 1941 – September 6, 2005) was an American professional basketball player.

Warlick was born in Hickory, North Carolina, and attended Ridgeview High School. The 6'5" guard/forward played at Pueblo Junior College in Colorado, then transferred to Pepperdine University in 1961. At Pepperdine, he helped the school reach the NCAA Tournament after a season in which he averaged 16.4 points and 9.6 rebounds.[1] Warlick then played professionally in the NBA and ABA as a member of the Detroit Pistons, San Francisco Warriors, Milwaukee Bucks, Phoenix Suns, and Los Angeles Stars. He averaged 7.9 points per game in his professional career,[2] which was cut short by a knee injury.[1]

Warlick later worked for Purex Industries, then established the Youth Sports Foundation in Long Beach, California. He died of a heart attack in 2005.[1]

Warlick's brother, Ernie Warlick, played football for the Buffalo Bills.[1]
