Robert Cadzow "Roy" Calder (12 March 1904 − 1 July 1976) was a New Zealand diver who represented his country at the 1930 British Empire Games in Hamilton, Ontario. He was hampered by a back injury at the games and was forced to withdraw from the high dive,[2] but finished fourth in the springboard competition.[3]
He won the New Zealand diving championship every year except 1931 between 1926 and 1933.[4]
Calder died in 1976 and was buried in Andersons Bay Cemetery, Dunedin.[5]
