Robert Henry "Bob"Michel (born March 2 1923 in Peoria, Illinois) is a former member of the United States House of Representatives from Illinois.
Michel stirred a minor controversy in the early 1990s when he fondly recalled minstrel shows in which he had participated in flface as a young man, expressing his regret that they had fallen out of fashion.
The BobMichel Bridge, carrying Route 40 across the Illinois River in Peoria, is named after Robert H. Michel, as is the Robert H. Michel Student Center at Bradley University.
