Robert John "Mutt" Lange (født 11. november 1948 i Mufulira i Zambia) er en britisk pladeproducer, sangskriver og musiker. "Mutt" Lange er en af musikbranchens mest succesfulde producere, og har produceret og skrevet bestsælgere for band og artister som AC/DC, Def Leppard, Bryan Adams, Tina Turner, Shania Twain, Foreigner, The Cars, Billy Ocean og The Corrs.
"Mutt" Lange blev født i det tidligere Nordrhodesia, det nuværende Zambia. Han gik i skole i Sydafrika, og flyttede senere til England. I 1976 begyndte han sin karriere som pladeproducer, og hans gennembrud var singlen "Rat Trap" for Boomtown Rats i 1978. Det store verdensomspændende gennembruddet kom året efter, med AC/DCs album Highway to Hell i 1979. Han producerede yderligere to album for AC/DC, Back in Black i 1980 og For Those About to Rock We Salute You i 1981.
Lange blev nu en eftertragtet producer. Han producerede og skrev sange sammen med Def Leppard på albumene High 'n' Dry, Pyromania, Hysteria og Adrenalize. I 1990'erne producerede han Bryan Adams' album Waking Up the Neighbours samt Adams' album fra 2008, 11. Han producerede og skrev sange til sin daværende kone Shania Twains album The Woman in Me, Come on Over og Up!.
