Rear-Admiral Robert Archibald James Montgomerie, C.B., C.V.O., Royal Navy (11 September, 1855 – 1 September, 1908) was an officer of the Royal Navy.

Montgomerie hoisted his flag as Rear-Admiral Commanding, Torpedo Boat and Submarine Craft Flotillas in Commission and Reserve, in the protected cruiser Sapphire on 1 January, 1907, replacing Rear-Admiral Alfred L. Winsloe.[1]

After the transfer of the First and Second Destroyer Flotillas from the Home Fleet to the Channel Fleet in August,[2] Montgomerie became Rear-Admiral (D) in that fleet. It was decided in November that his appointment would lapse after his term of service was completed.[3] He struck his flag at sunset on 1 January, 1908.[4]
