Robert Terrill Rundle (1811-1896) was a Methodist missionary to northern and western Canada. He was born in Cornwall, England, converted to Methodism in his teens and became a lay preacher for the Wesleyan Methodist Church. He volunteered as a missionary to the Hudson's Bay Territory. He arrived at Norway House, Manitoba, in the summer of 1840 and at Fort Edmonton, Alberta, in the autumn of the same year; he led services in English and Cree. He produced literature in the Cree Syllabic, having learned it from Rev. James Evans. He left the mission in 1848 because of ill health; he served on English circuits until his retirement in 1887.
