Robin Singh (born "Robindra Ramnarine Singh") is a former international cricketer who represented the Indian national team between 1989 and 2001 as an all-rounder. He has coached the Indian Premier League's Mumbai Indians since 2010 and the Caribbean Premier League's Barbados Tridents since 2013. He also coached the Deccan Chargers in the IPL's inaugural year. As a player, he was known for his agility and fitness.

Born in Trinidad to Indo-Trinidadian parents, Singh moved to India in 1984 and studied at Madras University during which he played club and college-level cricket. He helped Tamil Nadu win the Ranji Trophy in 1988, and was one of the season's most consistent players. He gave up his Trinidad and Tobago passport so he could become an Indian citizen and play for India's national cricket team.

Singh was born in Princes Town, Trinidad and Tobago, to Ramnarine and Savitri Singh on September 14, 1963, and is of Indian descent. At the age of 19, Singh moved to Madras, India, where he earned a master's degree in economics at the University of Madras while beginning his cricket career. He currently resides in Chennai (Madras), India, with his wife Sujata and son Dhananjay, although his parents and siblings still live in Trinidad and Tobago.
