Mark Andrew Robinson OBE (born 23 November 1966) is a former English cricketer who is the current coach of the England women's cricket team. A right-arm fast-medium bowler, Robinson played for three different English counties (Northamptonshire, Yorkshire, and Sussex), and also spent one season in New Zealand, playing for Canterbury. After retiring from playing, he served as coach of Sussex from 2005 to 2015, winning County Championships with the team in 2006 and 2007, and also coached several England Lions tours. He was awarded an OBE in the Queen's 2018 New Year Honours.

After a number of appearances in Northamptonshire's second XI, Robinson made his first-class debut in 1987 against Lancashire, taking four wickets in the match including those of Mike Watkinson and Neil Fairbrother. By the end of the season he was playing a significant part in the first team, and the following year he took 46 first-class wickets at 22.93. He spent the winter in New Zealand playing for Canterbury. Returning to Northants for 1989, Robinson claimed 37 wickets.
