Robert Hayes Burns Baldwin (July 9, 1920 – January 3, 2016) was the chairman of Morgan Stanley when the bank was taken public in the 1970s. He is noted for significantly expanding the wealth of the firm during his tenure there. He was also appointed by President Lyndon B. Johnson to be the Undersecretary of the United States Navy during the Vietnam War. The town of Baldwin Park, Florida, and its Lake Baldwin, are named after him, in honor of this service.{{cite web|url=http://www.baldwinparkfl.com/history.html|title=Baldwin Park - History|access-date=January 5, 2016|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130117151604/http://www.baldwinparkfl.com/history.html|archive-date=January 17, 2013}}
