Barbara Robinson (* 1927) is an American author best known for her books targeted at children, particularly "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" (1972) and "The Best Worst School Year Ever" (1994).

In addition to her children's books, Robinson has published dozens of short stories in magazines such as McCall’s and Ladies Home Journal, and has also written plays and poetry. She currently lives in Berwyn, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. She has two daughters, Carolyn, a nurse, and Marjorie, a sixth-grade teacher, and two grandchildren,Tomas and Marcos.
