Danny Robinson (born 1 September 1982) is a English football goalkeeper and coach. He currently manages the academy of Burton Albion and has previously held the role of assistant coach with the New Zealand national women's team.

He is a four-time winner of the New Zealand Football Championship (NZFC) with Waitakere United and in 2014 was named as the best goalkeeper of that competition's first decade. He was also the first goalkeeper to play 100 games in the New Zealand Football Championship.

He has been to one FIFA Club World Cup as a player and has coached, as either an assistant coach or goalkeeping coach, at four FIFA tournaments including the 2012 Olympic Games and the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.

Robinson began his career playing for Derby County playing for the schoolboys team from the age of 11 to 16. In 1999, at the age of 17, he signed as an apprentice at Blackpool and played two years at youth and reserve team levels. In 2001, he signed a professional contract with Burton Albion, who were then under the management of Nigel Clough. During four seasons with the Brewers the bulk of his first team appearances would come in cup competitions. He made his one and only league appearance for Burton Albion in January 2003 in a Football Conference fixture away to Scarborough and was sent off on debut in the 4-1 defeat.
