Robert de Baldoque, also Romani (d.c. 1683) was a French adventurer involved in the Affair of the Poisons. He was accused of having conspired with Catherine Monvoisin to assassinate Angélique de Fontanges with poisoned gloves, while he was valet-de-chambre to a lady of the court. He was sentenced to life imprisonment and sequestration in 1682.
