Robert Lepikson (14 June 1952 – 1 July 2006[1]) was an Estonian politician, businessman and rally driver/co-driver.[2]

As a rally driver, he was the Estonian champion three times, winner of the

motosport league.[citation needed
]

As a politician, he switched party memberships several times, having been a member of the Estonian Coalition Party, the Estonian Centre Party and the People's Union of Estonia. He was the mayor of Tallinn for 7 months in 1996 and 1997. He lost his position as a result of conflicts caused by his out-spoken nature regarding fellow politicians in public.[citation needed]

In 1999, he was involved in a scandal in Estonian politics, in which Mart Laar used Edgar Savisaar's picture as a target on a shooting range.[citation needed]

He died of a stroke in 2006.[1]
