Paul Mark James Robinson (born 7 January 1982) is an English professional footballer who plays for AFC Wimbledon in League One as a centre back.
Born in Barnet, London, Robinson began his career as a trainee with Millwall after being released from Watford, turning professional in August 2001.

In December 2004 Robinson joined Torquay United on loan, playing twelve times before returning to Millwall and establishing himself as a first team regular, eventually gaining club captaincy under Lions' boss Kenny Jackett and establishing himself as a firm fan favourite. In 2009, he struggled with several injury problems, and missed the start of the 2009–2010 season for Millwall. He came back from injury with a goal against .
On 28 January 2010, Robinson extended his contract with Millwall until 2013. He scored the only goal of the 2010 Football League One play-off Final against Swindon Town in the 39th minute on 29 May 2010 to guide Millwall to the Football League Championship, also receiving the man of the match award.
After appearing regularly for Millwall in the following campaigns, Robinson signed a new three-year deal on 17 July 2012. However, he appeared in only three matches during the 2012–13 season, due to multiple injuries.
