Robert la Caze (born 26 February 1917 in Paris, died 1 July 2015 in Le Cannet) was a French-born Moroccan racing driver. La Caze made his name as a sportscar and rally driver in North Africa, and when Ecurie Maghreb launched, he and André Guelfi were the first drivers approached to drive for the team. However, due to a lack of experience, Guelfi became the team's regular driver, and la Caze only drove in the 1955 Grand Prix de Rouen-les-Essarts.

La Caze finally made his debut in 1958 when he took part in two races that year. In the French Grand Prix, he recorded a DNPQ driving a DB entry. He then raced in the Moroccan Grand Prix, recording a DNQ with a Cooper-Climax entered in his own name.
