The County of Robinson is one of the 49 counties of South Australia. It was proclaimed in 1883 by Governor William Robinson who named it after himself. It lies on the north west coast of Eyre Peninsula stretching from Streaky Bay inland to include the Gawler Ranges Conservation Park at the southern cusp of the Gawler Ranges.
The County of Robinson is divided into the following 24 hundreds which cross over the Streaky Bay district and Wudinna district council areas:
A twenty fifth county subdivision, the Hundred of McBeath, was planned or possibly proclaimed between the hundreds of Wright, Addison, Travers, Wallis and Downer, but the name was never gazetted.
