Robert Napuʻuako Boyd (Hawaiian pronunciation: [ˌnɐpuʔuˈwɐko]; September 2, 1864 – September 9, 1914) was a Native Hawaiian insurgent leader during the latter years of the Kingdom of Hawaii. Educated under the government-funded study program of King Kalākaua, he attended the Royal Naval Academy in Livorno, Italy. He became a friend of Robert William Wilcox, another Hawaiian student enrolled in Turin. They were both recalled back in Hawaii after the government stopped funding their education. Back home, he participated with Wilcox in the unsuccessful Wilcox rebellion of 1889 aimed at restoring political power to the king.
