Rob Malda (born May 10, 1976), also known as CmdrTaco, is founder of the website Slashdot. He is a graduate of Hope College and Holland Christian High School.

In 1997 Rob Malda and Jeff Bates created Slashdot while undergraduates of Hope College. After running the site for two years "on a shoestring", they sold the site to Andover.net, which was later acquired by VA Linux Systems. Malda now runs the site out of the SourceForge, Inc. office in Dexter, Michigan.

Rob Malda also wrote a monthly column for Computer Power User. His column was titled "The Department of Stuff" and had titles like adwords.txt and goodblog.txt. According to his magazine biography, "He spends his time fiddling with electronic gizmos, wandering the 'Net, watching anime, and trying to think of clever lies to put in his bio so that he seems cooler than he actually is."
