Arthur Joseph Herbert Robinson (21 April 1899  - 12 January 1937) was an Irish first-class cricketer.

Robinson was born at Rathmines in April 1899, and was educated at Clongowes Wood College in County Kildare.[1] He entered straight into the British Army as a Second Lieutenant following his schooling, where he served in the latter stages of World War I with the Leinster Regiment. Following the war, he studied at Trinity College, Dublin and was a member of Dublin University Cricket Club.[1] He toured England with the university in 1924, playing in one first-class match against Northamptonshire at Rushden.[2] In July 1924, he made his debut for Ireland in a first-class match against Scotland at Dundee.[2] He made five further first-class appearances for Ireland, the last coming in 1929 against Scotland.[2] Playing a total of seven first-class matches, he scored 155 runs at an average of 12.91, with a highest score of 32.[3] Besides playing club cricket in Dublin for Dublin University and Pembroke Cricket Club, his work took him around Ireland, with Robinson also playing for City of Derry and Cork County.[1] He died at Monkstown in January 1937.[4]
