Saint-Robert-Bellarmin is a municipality in the Municipalité régionale de comté du Granit in Estrie, Quebec, Canada, located on the Canada–United States border. Population is 645 as of 2006.

It is also the location of the Saint-Robert-Bellarmin Wind Project, an 80MW project located 3 km East-South-East of the town.

The area had already been settled in 1907. The local economy revolves mostly around lumber, sugar bushes and the seasonal deer hunt. Many Bellarminois work in neighbouring Saint-Gédéon-de-Beauce.

The municipality was named after Robert Bellarmine, an Italian Jesuit who participated actively in the Counter-Reformation.
