Theodore Robinson (3 Juni 1852 – 2 April 1896) adalah seorang pelukis Amerika yang terkenal karena lanskap Impresionis miliknya. Dia adalah salah satu seniman Amerika pertama yang mengambil Impresionisme di akhir 1880-an, mengunjungi Giverny dan mengembangkan persahabatan dekat dengan Claude Monet. Beberapa karyanya dianggap sebagai mahakarya impressionist Amerika.
