Robert Anderson (February 20, 1928 – November 27, 2008) was an American doctor and sexual abuser. In 2022, the University of Michigan agreed to a $490 million settlement to 1,050 victims who were abused by Anderson during routine medical examinations. Attorneys for Anderson's victims say this may have been the largest case of sex abuse by a single person in American history, surpassing the scale of similar cases such as that of Larry Nassar and the Ohio State University abuse scandal.
