Joel Walter Robison (October 1815 – August 4, 1889) was a Georgia native and a fighter in the Texas Revolution. Years later, he served a single term in the Texas House of Representatives.
Born in Washington County in east central Georgia not long after the conclusion of the War of 1812, Robison relocated with his family in 1831 to Brazoria County in southeastern Texas. He and his father, John G. Robison, fought in the Battle of Velasco in Brazoria County in 1832, the first pitched clash between Anglo settlers of Texas and Mexican soldiers. The next year the Robisons moved to Fayette County on Cummins Creek of the southern Colorado River. In the revolution, Robison participated in the siege of Béxar in San Antonio, the Grass Fight south of San Antonio, and the Battle of Concepción at Mission Concepción in San Antonio, with Texian Army insurgents led by James Bowie and James Fannin.
