Robert Fripp (16 de maio de 1946) é um guitarrista inglês de rock progressivo, famoso por suas técnicas inovadoras no seu instrumento, como o uso de um aparelho denominado Frippertronic que dá a guitarra a capacidade de gerar sons de sintetizadores. É o líder da banda King Crimson. Trabalhou com músicos como Brian Eno, Andy Summers, Peter Gabriel, David Bowie e David Sylvian. Foi considerado o 62º melhor guitarrista de todos os tempos pela revista norte-americana Rolling Stone.
Fripp começou tocar violão aos 11 anos, com uma Manguin Frere, passando para guitarra aos 14, com uma Hofner President. Ele teve aulas de teoria musical com uma professora de piano, o que lhe deu alguma base pra um ano depois ter aulas com Don Strike, um bom guitarrista do estilo dos anos 30.
Em nenhum momento Robert se prendeu em um estilo musical, nunca cultivou ídolos, chegando a dizer que Jimi Hendrix nunca foi um guitarrista, foi apenas um músico que tinha algo a dizer e conseguiu, chegando a duvidar se o mesmo se interessava tanto pelo instrumento de trabalho. Outro alvo do guitarrista inglês foi Eric Clapton, a qual mencionou que foi um guitarrista meramente banal, que lançou algo interessante e se perdeu com o tempo (declarações para revista Guitar Player de 1974, que foram resposta a rumores destes dois terem sido as suas grandes influências). Robert desenvolveu um estilo único sem se prender ao mainstream, o que lhe gerou alguma antipatia por parte do público, apesar de gozar de extrema reputação no meio especializado.
O trabalho profissional de Fripp começou em 1967, com uma banda formada por Peter Giles e Michael Giles. Sem sucesso, eles se prepararam para formar com Greg Lake, Peter Sinfeld e Ian McDonald o King Crimson, lançando em 1969, o álbum In The Court Of The Crimson King. Com moderado sucesso, apesar da inovação a qual o álbum trazia para o rock da época, a banda lançou logo depois o disco In The Wake Of Poseidon. Já sem Ian Mcdonald, que havia deixado a banda após o primeiro disco, o King Crimson partiria para uma imensa troca de integrantes, permanecendo Robert Fripp como o único remanescente entre todas as formações, apesar do mesmo não se considerar o líder da banda.
Além do King Crimson, Fripp trabalhou com diversos artistas durante os anos, apenas citando Brian Eno, Peter Gabriel, David Bowie, David Sylvian, Andy Summers, Blondie, Talking Heads e G3. Site Oficial.
