Clifford Ralph "Cliff" Robinson (born December 16, 1966) is an American retired professional basketball player who played for 5 teams throughout his career in the National Basketball Association (NBA).

Robinson played collegiately at the University of Connecticut. In 1988, the Huskies won the NIT Championship and Robinson was named to the all-tournament team. Robinson was later named to UConn's All-Century men's Basketball team. On February 5, 2007, Robinson's number "00" was retired at Gampel Pavilion during halftime of a UConn basketball game against the Syracuse Orange as part of the "Huskies of Honor" ceremony which recognized personal accomplishments of 13 former players and three coaches.

Robinson was selected with the 36th overall pick (2nd round) in the 1989 NBA draft by the Portland Trail Blazers. Robinson played for the Trail Blazers for eight seasons. Portland made the playoffs each year Robinson was on the team, and played in the NBA Finals in 1990 and 1992. Robinson won the 1992–93 Sixth Man of the Year Award after averaging 19.1 points, 6.6 rebounds and a career-best 1.99 blocks per game. He was an All Star with the team in 1994. Following game 4 of the 1992 Western Conference Finals against the Utah Jazz, Robinson performed a victory dance that he later told press was named the "Uncle Cliffy". The nickname stuck with Robinson for the rest of his career. Following a game against the Golden State Warriors on February 22, 1995, Robinson would be forced to end his 461 iron man streak of consecutive games played for which he started his career. This streak stands as a franchise record for the Trail Blazers.
