Richard Daryl Robinson (born 8 June 1946) is a former Australian international cricketer who played in three Test matches and two One Day Internationals, all in 1977.
During a first-class career that spanned from 1971 to 1982, Robinson was widely recognised as the second best wicketkeeper in Australia, behind the formidable Rod Marsh and would no doubt have played more Tests had Marsh not played. Although a wicketkeeper batsman in state cricket, Robinson's three Tests were as a specialist batsman.

In 2013 Robinson was appointed coach of Tracy Village.
