Robert Ernst Lifmann (born 1957) is a former Dutch cricketer who played for the Dutch national team between 1978 and 1989. A left-handed batsman, he was his team's leading run-scorer at the 1982 ICC Trophy.

Lifmann made his senior debut for the Netherlands in September 1978, playing against the New Zealanders returning from their tour of England.[1] His first international tournament for the Netherlands was the 1982 ICC Trophy in England.[2] At the tournament, Lifmann scored 250 runs from four matches, ranking him fifth in the competition for runs (and first among his teammates).[3] His highest score, 155 not out, came against Malaysia,[4] and set a new tournament record for the highest individual innings (later broken by Hong Kong's Simon Myles).[5] Lifmann remained in good form at the 1986 ICC Trophy, scoring 395 runs from ten matches to rank third among Dutch batsmen and fifth overall.[6] His tournament included scores of 98 against Papua New Guinea and 110 against Israel, as well as a team-high 41 in the final against Zimbabwe.[2] Lifmann was a regular for the Netherlands for several more years, playing his last international in 1989 (against the Australians returning from their a tour of England). His club cricket was played for VOC Rotterdam.[1]
