Bob Welch (Los Angeles, 31 juli 1945 – Antioch, 7 juni 2012) was een Amerikaans muzikant en songwriter. Hij was de zoon van zangeres en actrice Templeton Fox en screenwriter Robert L. Welch.

Welch was van 1971 tot 1974 leider van, en zanger, gitarist en componist bij de popgroep Fleetwood Mac en richtte daarna de band "Paris" op. Die hardrockformatie met ex Jethro Tull bassist Glenn Cornick en ex Todd Rundgren's Nazz drummer Thom Mooney hield niet lang stand. Later begon hij een solocarrière en scoorde met de hits Sentimental Lady (1977) en Ebony Eyes (1978). Als songwriter heeft hij samengewerkt met Kenny Rogers, Sammy Hagar, The Pointer Sisters en anderen.

Hij was sinds 1985 getrouwd met Wendy Armistead Welch. In 2012 werd bekend dat hij ongeneeslijk ziek was. Op 7 juni 2012 pleegde hij thuis zelfmoord.[1]
