The Collins-Robert French Dictionary (marketed as Le Robert et Collins Dictionnaire Français-Anglais in France) is a bilingual dictionary of English and French derived from the Collins Word Web, an analytical linguistics database. As well as its primary function as a bilingual dictionary, it also contains usage guides for English and French (known as Grammaire Active and Language in Use respectively), English and French verb tables, and maps of English and French speaking areas.

Its two main competitors are Harrap's Shorter French Dictionary published by Chambers Harrap Publishers and the Oxford-Hachette French Dictionary published by Oxford University Press in conjunction with Hachette.
