Robert Hetzron, born Herczog/Herzog (31 December 1937 - 1997) was a Hungarian linguist who focused primarily on Afro-Asiatic languages, especially those in Ethiopia and Gurage Ethiopian Semitic languages. The 35th annual meeting of the North American Conference on Afroasiatic Linguistics (NACAL 35, San Antonio, 2007), which was initiated by Robert Hetzron at Santa Barbara in 1972, is dedicated to his memory.
