Robert Paul Wine Sr. (born September 17, 1938, in New York, New York) is a former shortstop, coach and manager in American Major League Baseball.

An excellent fielder who struggled as a batsman, Wine spent 12 seasons in the National League with the Philadelphia Phillies (1960; 1962-68) and the Montreal Expos (1969-72), hitting .215 in 1,164 games with 30 home runs. He was selected to the NL Gold Glove team in 1963.

Wine became a coach for the Phillies and Atlanta Braves after his playing days ended. He served as interim manager of the 1985 Braves from August 26 through season's end, replacing the fired Eddie Haas. Under Wine, the Braves won 16 and lost 25 (.390) and remained lodged in fifth place in the National League West. He has been a scout for Atlanta since.

Wine's son, Robbie, is a former major league catcher.
