Robert John Duffy (born August 21, 1954) is a former American law enforcement officer and politician who served as the lieutenant governor of New York from 2011 to 2014. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously served as the 65th Mayor of Rochester, New York from 2006 to 2010.

Earlier in his career, Duffy worked as a police officer in Rochester, rising to the positions of Deputy Chief (1992–1998) and Chief (1998–2005). He was elected mayor of the city in November 2005, took office on January 1, 2006, and was reelected in 2009 (unopposed) for a term scheduled to end in 2013.

In May 2010, New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo selected Duffy as his running mate in the race for Governor.[1] Cuomo and Duffy were elected in November 2010 for a four-year term beginning January 1, 2011. Duffy chose not to run for reelection in 2014, and instead became the President and CEO of the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce.

In April 2020, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Governor Cuomo appointed Duffy as Special Advisor to coordinate public health and reopening strategy in the Finger Lakes Region.[2]
