Robert Christmas Dewar Jenkins (29 September 1900 – 25 Jun 1978) was a British Conservative Party politician, and a Member of Parliament for 13 years.
At the 1950 general election, Jenkins stood as the Conservative candidate in the Dulwich constituency in South London, but lost by 1300 votes to the sitting Labour Party MP Wilfrid Vernon.
The next year, at the 1951 general election, he won the seat, with a majority of 691 over Vernon. Jenkins held the seat at the next two general elections, before retiring from the House of Commons at the 1964 general election
