Detective Investigator First Grade Robert Goren is a detective on Law & Order: Criminal Intent, portrayed by Vincent D'Onofrio. Goren works for the Major Case Squad in the NYPD.

As created by D'Onofrio, Goren is an intense, intelligent, and imposing man who uses his intuition and insight into human nature to size up suspects and pick apart the details of crimes.

Goren, born on August 20, 1961, is the son of Frances Goren and brother of Frank. Both of them had troubled lives, as Frank was addicted to gambling and drugs, and Frances was a Schizophrenic living at Carmel Ridge. While there, Robert would call her most days and visit her once a week. Often, her calls and difficulties with her illness would interfere with his work. (CI: Anti-Thesis)

He had served in the United States Army, and was in the Criminal Investigation Division. He had been deployed to South Korea and Germany. While serving, he met Dr. Declan Gage, who was one of the first criminal profilers. He would go on to be both a mentor and a father figure to Goren.

In 2008 he found out that his biological father was Mark Ford Brady, a convicted serial killer, and not the man he had previously believed to be. Frances told him he was conceived while Frank's father was away near the time when John F. Kennedy was elected President. Frank knew Brady as "Uncle Mark", and was surprised to learn Robert did not remember him like he did.

His Social Security number is 845-67-3906. Nicole Wallace somehow obtained it, much to Goren's dismay.(CI: Anti-Thesis)
