Robert Lortat (12 September 1885 – 5 May 1938) was a French pianist, well known in his native Paris and in other musical centres including London. He was closely associated with the works of Frédéric Chopin and Gabriel Fauré. Ill health caused by German gas during the First World War restricted his post-war career and led to his early death at the age of 52.
