Bob Whitehead is a game designer and programmer.

Whitehead worked for Atari in the late 1970s developing games for the Atari 2600. He and others felt that they were not receiving fair compensation for their work, specifically, Atari refused to include credits for the developers in their games. Whitehead and a few others left and co-founded Activision, the first third-party video game developer. In 1984, he left Activsion with Alan Miller and co-founded Accolade with him. Ironically, Accolade was later acquired by Infogrames, which shortly afterwards changed their name to Atari.
