Robert Roman Kraskowski (born December 21, 1967 in Słupsk) is a Polish sport shooter.[1] Kraskowski had won a total of three medals at the ISSF World Cup circuit, including gold for the 10 m air rifle (1992 in Suhl, Germany). He also competed in the rifle shooting events at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona (only 10 m air rifle), and at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.

Twelve years after competing in his last Olympics, Kraskowski qualified for his third Polish team as a 41-year-old at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing by placing sixth for the 10 m air rifle (AR40) from the third meet of the 2006 ISSF World Cup in Munich, Germany.[2] Kraskowski also received additional places for the 50 m rifle prone (FR60PR) and 50 m rifle 3 positions (STR3X20); therefore, he competed for all rifle shooting events.

In his first event, 10 m air rifle, Kraskowski was able to hit a total of 589 points within six attempts, finishing thirty-third in the qualifying rounds.[3] Few days later, he placed twenty-fifth in the 50 m rifle prone, by one target ahead of India's Sanjeev Rajput from the final attempt, with a total score of 591 points.[4] In his third and last event, 50 m rifle 3 positions, Kraskowski was able to shoot 395 targets in a prone position, 373 in standing, and 388 in kneeling, for a total score of 1,156 points, finishing only in thirty-third place.[5]
