Robbie Buhl (born September 2, 1963 in Detroit) is a former IndyCar Series competitor.

He won the 1992 Indy Lights championship and caught the eye of John Menard in 1996, running as team mate to Tony Stewart for two seasons. He scored his first win in what was once, a long time ago, the closest finish in series history. He beat ex-MasterCard Lola F1 driver Vincenzo Sospiri by 0.064 of a second at the New Hampshire International Speedway. He started his own team, Dreyer & Reinbold Racing, in 2000 and stunned the establishment with a win from 22nd on the grid the season opener at Walt Disney World Speedway. Mild to moderate success followed the next few seasons and he retired as a driver prior to the 2004 Indianapolis 500.
