Robert Bloch is a French racing driver who, along with André Rossignol, won the 1926 24 Hours of Le Mans for French manufacturer Lorraine-Dietrich. Robert Bloch had been part of Lorraine-Dietrich's racing team since the inaugural 24 Hours of Le Mans in 24hLM|1923, finishing the event, but struggled to finish over the next two years. Following Rossignol's initial win in 24hLM|1925, Bloch was partnered with the experienced winner and the duo led a Lorraine-Dietrich dominance of the event in 1926, winning ahead of the two other entries from the company.
Bloch missed Le Mans in 1927 after Lorraine-Dietrich chose not to enter a team, but Bloch was hired by Charles Terres Weymann in 24hLM|1928 to drive his privately entered Stutz Blackhawk. Bloch, with co-driver Éduoard Brisson, finished the race second overall behind the factory Bentley team.
