Bobby Womack (født Robert Dwayne Womack 4. marts 1944 i Cleveland, Ohio, død 27. juni 2014[1]) var en amerikansk soulmusiker og sangskriver. Han var bror til Cecil Womack.
I begyndelsen af 1960'erne sang de to brødre gospel under navnet The Womack Brothers og indspillede på Sam Cookes pladeselskab SAR Records. De dannede senere gruppen The Valentinos og indspillede en lang række soul- og rocksange, herunder "It's All Over Now" skrevet af Bobby Womack og svigerinden Shirley Womack. The Rolling Stones indspillede senere et cover af sagen, der blev et stort hit.
Womack giftede sig med Sam Cookes enke Barbara Campbell kun få måneder efter Cookes død i 1964. I 1970'erne og 1980'erne fik Womack succes på de amerikanske hitlister blandt andet med "Lookin' for a Love" (1974), "Daylight" (1976) og "If You Think You're Lonely Now" (1982).
Womack skrev blandt andet titelsangen til filmen Across the 110th Street i 1972. Titelsangen er tillige anvendt af Quentin Tarantino i filmen Jackie Brown (1997) og i Ridley Scotts American Gangster (2007).
Womack blev i 2009 optaget i Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.[2]
