Robert Lortat (12 September 1885 – 5 May 1938) was a French pianist, well known in his native Paris and in other musical centres including London. He was closely associated with the works of Frédéric Chopin and Gabriel Fauré . Ill health caused by German gas during the First World War restricted his post-war career and led to his early death at the age of 52.
