Austin 'Ocker' Robertson (born November 21, 1907) was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne in the VFL.
Robertson debuted with South Melbourne at the age of 18 and played for the club between 1927 and 1937, during which time he was also a world champion professional sprinter. He missed out on South Melbourne's 1933 premiership win because he was in America organising a head to head race with Eddie Tolan.
