Robert Baldwin Robbie Ross (May 25, 1869 - October 5, 1918) was a Canadian journalist and art critic. He is best known as the executor of the estate of Oscar Wilde, with whom he had been a lifelong friend. He was also responsible for bringing together several great literary figures, such as Siegfried Sassoon and acting as their mentor. His open homosexuality in a time when homosexual acts were illegal, brought him many hardships and contributed to his early death. Ross was born in Tours, France. His father John Ross, though born in County Antrim, Ireland, spent most of his life in Upper Canada where he became a lawyer and attorney-general in 1853, and president of the Grand Trunk Railway 1853-1862. His mother Augusta Elizabeth Baldwin was the daughter of Canadian Deputy Premier Robert Baldwin.
