Bob Kuechenberg (born October 14, 1947 in Gary, Indiana) is a former National Football League offensive lineman for the Miami Dolphins for fifteen seasons between 1970 and 1984, spending the last in injured reserve where he was a mainstay in a Hall of Fame line that included Hall of Famers Jim Langer and Larry Little and was elected for six Pro Bowls in the late 1970s and early 1980s. He was elected as one of the top 15th finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2005 but missed the cut.

Kuchenberg attended college in the University of Notre Dame where he played both the offensive and defensive lines there, and was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles as a fourth-round pick in the 1969 NFL Draft where he was quickly cut. After playing a season of Semi-Pro football Kuechenberg signed with the Dolphins as a free agent in 1970. He was elected twice All-Pro in 1975 and in 1978 and was elected All-AFC three times.
