Mitchell Robinson (born April 1, 1998) is an American college basketball player for the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers.

Robinson attended Chalmette High School, he was a five-star-recruit in the class of 2017 according to the ESPN ranking. Playing in the 2017 McDonald's All-American Boys Game, he tallied 14 points, three rebounds and two blocked shots. He participated in the 2017 Jordan Brand Classic, scoring 15 points in 17 minutes of play, while pulling down three rebounds.

As a senior at Chalmette, he averaged 26 points, 15 boards as well as 4.1 assists per outing, while earning Naismith Trophy All-America honorable mention and MaxPreps All-America honorable mention status as well as USA Today All-USA Louisiana first team honors. Robinson originally committed to Texas A&M, but then de-committed to follow coach Rick Stansbury to Western Kentucky. Stansbury had recruited Robinson as the Aggies' assistant coach. Basketball writer Jason Frakes wrote in February 2017, Robinson "may go down as the biggest recruiting coup in WKU basketball history."
