Ryan Robinson (born October 13, 1982 in Kendal) is an English footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Forest Green Rovers.

Robinson began his career with Blackburn Rovers, before being released in 2001, aged 20. He joined Southend United, where he got his first taste of first-team action, playing in two Football League games. He was released by Southend after one year, and has since played for a number of Conference clubs - Morecambe, Southport and, since 2006, Forest Green.

Robinson moved near to his family home when he joined Morecambe. He quickly made the goalkeeper jersey his own through a series of excellent displays. However, after being injured Morecambe brought in loan keeper Steven Drench from nearby Blackburn Rovers. Drench similarly excelled and took Robinson's first-team spot.

Following an injury to Drench, Robinson again took his place as first team goalkeeper. However a poor game, which included a spat with his team-mate Chris Blackburn saw him spend the remainder of the season on the bench. At the end of the 2005-06 season Drench signed for Morecambe and Robinson, unhappy at playing second fiddle, was allowed to leave and was quickly snapped up by former Morecambe manager Jim Harvey who had just taken over at Forest Green Rovers.
