Robert 'Bob' Thomas Rush (9 October 1880 - 1975) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Collingwood in the VFL.
Rush was a pacy defender and played mainly on a half back flank, although he was also used in the back pockets. He was a member of Collingwood's 1902 and 1903 premierships. From a talented footballing family, he had four brothers who also played in the VFL.
After leaving Collingwood, Rush continued to serve the club off the field in a variety of roles over the years including as a committeeman, assistant secretary and treasurer. He is credited with having coined the Collingwood club motto of 'Floreat Pica'. In the 1930 VFL Grand Final he coached the club to the premiership, filling it for Jock McHale who was ill.
Rush was also the president of the Australian National Football Council at one stage, which was in charge of the laws of Australian football.
