Robin Hood's Hut is a small pavilion in the grounds of Halswell House, Goathurst, Somerset, England.

It was built around 1740 by Sir Charles Kemeys-Tynte.

When the Somerset Buildings Preservation Trust started restoration work in 1997, with grants from English Heritage and the Heritage Lottery, the structure had neither roof nor windows, had lost much of its plasterwork and its umbrello was almost gone.

Robin Hood's Hut was commended in the Building Conservation category of Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors awards 2005, and is a Grade II* listed building.
