  • 柏立基爵士，GCMG，OBE（Sir Robert Brown Black，1906年6月3日－1999年10月29日），英國殖民地官員，早年曾於1952年至1955年擔任香港輔政司，之後在1955年至1957年出任星加坡總督。在1958年，柏立基改任第23任香港總督，任內見證港府財政自主，而隨著大批難民從中國大陸湧入香港，亦為香港帶來了充足的勞動力，連帶經濟有顯著的增長。與此同時，為應付大批的難民，柏立基大力推動社會建設，以積極改善市民的生活水平。在柏立基擔任港督後期，香港連年水、旱交侵，促使他興修水塘，並率先向大陸當局購買東江水以濟水荒。 柏立基在1964年卸任，此後雖然甚少返港，亦保持傳統殖民地官員的作風，未曾撰寫回憶錄，但事實上，他對香港事務其實仍然十分關注。他在1999年10月29日去世，終年93歲，是繼戴維斯爵士後，第二長壽的香港總督。
