Bobby Womack, född Robert Dwayne Womack 4 mars 1944 i Cleveland, Ohio, är en amerikansk soulmusiker och låtskrivare och bror till Cecil Womack.

I början av 1960-talet sjöng de två bröderna gospel under artistnamnet The Womack Brothers och spelade in på Sam Cookes skivbolag SAR Records. Senare bildade de gruppen The Valentinos och spelade in en lång rad soul- och rocklåtar, bland annat It's all over now, skriven av Bobby Womack och hans svägerska Shirley Womack, som The Rolling Stones senare gjorde en cover på.

Womack gifte sig med Sam Cookes änka Barbara Campbell bara några månader efter Cookes död 1964. Han nådde på 70-talet vissa framgångar på de amerikanska hitlistorna, bland annat med Lookin' for a love (1974).

Filmregissören Quentin Tarantino använde Womacks låt "Across the 110th street" i filmen Jackie Brown från 1997. Och 2007 användes samma låt i Ridley Scotts film American Gangster med Denzel Washington och Russell Crowe i huvudrollerna.
