Robin Caspar Walker (born 12 April 1978) is a British Conservative Party politician who is the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Worcester constituency and a junior government minister in the Department for Exiting the European Union. He was selected for the seat in August 2006 in which he was elected in 2010 and then was re-elected in the 2015 General Election; defeating Labour Challenger Joy Squires.

His father was Peter Walker, Baron Walker of Worcester, who was MP for Worcester from 1961 to 1992.

Walker was educated at St Paul's School in Barnes, London, followed by a scholarship at Balliol College, Oxford, where he read Ancient and Modern History.

After leaving University, he set up his own internet business before pursuing a successful career in the City of London with the financial communications company, Finsbury Group, advising the Chief Executives and Financial Directors of some of the country's leading industrial companies on their communications with the press and the financial community.

Walker has campaigned in three elections, working for Secretary of State for Health Stephen Dorrell in 1997, for Richard Adams, the Conservative Candidate for Worcester in 2001, and as press officer for Oliver Letwin, then Shadow Chancellor, in 2005.

In 2010 he defeated incumbent MP Mike Foster to win the Worcester seat, eighteen years after his father retired as a member of parliament and joined the House of Lords.
