Joseph Pierre Stéphane Robidas /ˈrbɪdɑː/ (born March 3, 1977) is a former Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman who played most recently for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League (NHL), though he is under contract with the club until July 1, 2017. He played for HIFK of the SM-liiga during the 2012 NHL lockout. Robidas played over 900 games in the NHL, most of which came within the Dallas Stars' organisation. He currently works as a consultant for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Robidas was selected 164th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in the 7th round of the 1995 NHL Entry Draft. He played two seasons with Montreal (1999–2000 and 2000–2001). He was claimed by the Atlanta Thrashers on October 4, 2002 in the NHL Waiver Draft, and subsequently dealt to the Dallas Stars for a 6th round selection in 2002. After a brief stint with Dallas, he was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks in November 2003 for Jon Klemm and a fourth round selection in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft. He played for the Frankfurt Lions of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL) during the entire 2004–05 lockout season. Later in the season he was joined on the team by fellow NHLer Doug Weight, and the pair became fan favorites.
