Rob Lyttle (born 28 January 1997) is a rugby union player from Donaghcloney, County Down, Northern Ireland. He plays wing for Banbridge RFC and Ulster.

Born in Donaghcloney, County Down, he played mini rugby at Dromore RFC as a child. He attended Royal Belfast Academical Institution, where he appeared in the Ulster Schools' Cup final in 2013. He then moved to Methodist College Belfast, with whom he made the Schools' Cup semi-finals. He was named Ulster Rugby Schools Player of the Year in 2015.[2] He was signed to the Ulster academy.[3] He made his senior debut, scoring two tries, against the Dragons in September 2016.[4] He made his fiftieth appearance against Scarlets in January 2022.[5] In April 2023 he announced he would be leaving Ulster at the end of the 2022-23 season.[6]

He returned to the Ulster squad in January 2025 as short-term injury cover, and was named on the bench for Ulster's home Champions Cup tie against Exeter Chiefs.[7]
