Robert (Bobby) Matthew Hurley (born June 28, 1971 in Jersey City, New Jersey) is a former All-American point guard for Duke University's men's basketball team, from 1989-1993. Hurley became the NCAA all-time assists leader and led the Blue Devils to back-to back national championships. Meanwhile, he earned the Final Four MVP honors in 1992. His Duke jersey number #11 was retired in 1993. Hurley is the son of Bob Hurley Sr., one of the most accomplished high school coaches in the country.

Hurley was selected by the Sacramento Kings as the 7th pick in the 1993 NBA Draft. While returning home following a game in December of his rookie season, Hurley's pickup truck was slammed into by a reckless driver by the name of Daniel Wieland, a house painter by trade. Having not worn a seat belt, Hurley was thrown from his truck and suffered life-threatening injuries. He returned to the NBA for the 1994-1995 season, and played four more years beyond that. After retiring, Hurley went on to become a thoroughbred racehorse owner and breeder. He was also hired as a scout by the Philadelphia 76ers in 2003, and has expressed coaching aspirations. Currently, Hurley is a middle school basketball coach at Pine Crest School in Fort Lauderdale.
