Anthony Gerard Peter Robinson (born 9 May 1962) is an Australian politician, currently serving as the member for Mitcham in the Victorian Legislative Assembly. He represents the Australian Labor Party.

Robinson was first elected at the 1998 Mitcham by-election, one of the first signs of discontent that was to see the Kennett government thrown out the following year. Since his by-election win, Robinson has successfully defended his traditionally bellwether seat, and after the 2006 election he was appointed as Secretary to Cabinet. In August 2007, he was appointed as Minister for Gaming, Minister for Consumer Affairs and Minister Assisting the Premier on Veterans’ Affairs.
