Robert George Talbot Kelly (1861 - 1934) was an English orientalist landscape and genre painter; author and illustrator. Kelly was born in Birkenhead; Cheshire; the son of Irish landscape artist Robert George Kelly.

Kelly travelled to Burma; which he wrote about and painted for two books published by A & C Black; Burma Painted and Described (1905) and Burma (1909).

Kelly had a significant impact on the early 20th century development of Burmese painting. In Burma; he is believed to have met and taught the basics of Western painting to a major painter of Burma; M.T. Hla (U Tun Hla) (1874-1946); and the paintings of Maung Maung Gyi (painter) (1890-1942) and Ba Ohn (c.1877-fl.1924) show clear influence of Kelly's style in certain works. Pictures From History
