Robin Hull (born 16 August 1974) is a Finnish professional snooker player.
For some time he was the sole Nordic player on the game's main tour. He is known as a solid break-builder, having compiled over 150 competitive centuries during his career, among the highest for a player who has never featured in the top 16 in the world rankings.
Hull is one of five players to have missed the final black in attempting a maximum break, alongside Ken Doherty, Thepchaiya Un-Nooh, Barry Pinches and Mark Selby.
A professional since 1992, Hull came to prominence during the 2001/2002 season, as he reached the last 16 of the 2001 UK Championship, and later qualified for the 2002 World Championship, knocking out Steve Davis in the final qualifying round; in the first round proper, he lost 6–10 to Graeme Dott. These results allowed Hull to get into the world top 32 at the end of the next season.
A potentially fatal viral infection kept Hull out of much of the 2003/2004 season, although he still was able to reach his first ever quarter-final at the 2003 Welsh Open. He later repeated this result at the 2006 Malta Cup. However, his performances were largely inconsistent due to his health issues. He was forced to pull out of qualifying for the 2007 World Championship due to an irregular heartbeat thought to be linked to his past illness. After similar problems in the following season, he decided to retire from professional competition. He started working as a snooker commentator on Finnish Eurosport, and opened a snooker club in his hometown of Espoo.
