Robert " Rob " John Tognoni (born 30 October1960) is an Australian blues guitarist. His feeling for blues rock is particularly evident in his sophisticated playing technique.

His music is particularly influenced by musicians such as B.B. King and Jimi Hendrix as well as the aforementioned band AC/DC.

At the 20th Annual Queensland Rock Awards, they were awarded in the categories "Best Band", "Best Guitarist" and "Best Drummer". In 1989, Tognoni's family moved back to Melbourne with the band. The Outlaws, who renamed themselves The Desert Cats in 1990, toured Australia with various other bands and played together with musicians such as Lonnie Mack, Joe Walsh or Roy Buchanan.

In 2002, Rob Tognoni founded his own label, Electric Renegade, where he released two studio albums.

Since 2003 Tognoni plays together with German musicians, since 2018 these are Slawek Semeniuk on the 5-string bass guitar and Gerry Reynders on drums.
