Robert Samuel Croll (born 9 December 1954) is a Dutch politician and former judge. He has been a member of the Senate since 13 June 2023.[1]
In the spring of 2023, he switched from the Christian Democratic Appeal to the Farmer–Citizen Movement and became the fourth candidate for the Senate on behalf of the party.[2] During these elections, the BBB won sixteen seats in the Senate. On July 4, 2023, he was elected second Vice President of the Senate.[3]
In June 2025, he announced his switch to D66, partly because of the BBB's position on Gaza.[4] However, he remained a member of the Senate. In the Senate, the coalition of PVV, VVD, NSC and BBB thus lost its second seat in a month; Eric Kemperman had already left the BBB faction earlier in the year.
