Robin David Jackman (born 13 August 1945, Simla, India) is a former English cricketer who played in 4 Tests and 15 ODIs from 1974 to 1983. He was a seam bowler and useful tail-end batsman. During a first-class career lasting from 1966 to 1982, he took 1402 wickets. He was a member of the Surrey side that won the County Championship in 1971, and also played for Western Province in South Africa in 1971-72, and for Rhodesia between 1972-73 and 1979-80.

During England's 1980-1 tour of the West Indies, the Guyanese government revoked his visa because of his links with the then apartheid South Africa. The England party therefore did not travel to Guyana and the Second Test, due to be played there, was cancelled.

The cricket writer Alan Gibson gave him the nickname, which became well-known, of the "Shoreditch sparrow". However Jackman has no obvious connection with Shoreditch.

He was a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1981, having taken 121 wickets in first-class matches the previous summer, 20 more than anyone else. He is now a commentator on various international TV tournaments. Recently he is among the commentary team for Indian Premier League
