Bob Ley (born March 16, 1955 in Newark, New Jersey) is a sportscaster for the ESPN cable network.

After graduating cum laude from Seton Hall University with a B.S. degree in communications, Ley worked several minor broadcasting jobs – including public address announcer with the New York Cosmos soccer team – before landing his first major position with the fledgling ESPN in 1979.
