Robert Edwin Sutton (born 30 May 1940) is a New Zealand former cricketer. He played 56 first-class matches, most of them for Auckland, between 1958 and 1974.
Sutton was a left-arm fast-medium bowler and tail-end batsman. He was for some years considered a bowler of Test potential, and was selected for teams of young New Zealand players against touring Test teams three times in the 1960s, but was never selected in the Test team. He took his best figures of 7 for 64 and 2 for 35 when Auckland defeated Wellington in the final game of the 1963âÂÂ64 Plunket Shield, giving Auckland a narrow victory in the tournament. In the 1962âÂÂ63 Plunket Shield he took 6 for 14 and 2 for 20 (match figures of 33.4âÂÂ19âÂÂ34âÂÂ8) in an innings victory over Otago.
