William Robb (born 20 March 1895, date of death unknown) was a Scottish footballer who played as a goalkeeper for both fc|Rangers and fc|Hibernian.
Robb was signed to fc|Rangers by Bill Struth in 1920 and would stay there for six years making 251 appearances. He made his debut against fc|Ayr United in April 13, starting in a 2–1 win for Rangers. From the end of the 1919–20 season until midway into the 1925–26 season, Robb played in every league and Scottish Cup match that Rangers were involved in. This run came to an end on 31 October 1925 after an astonishing 241 consecutive matches.
Robb left Ibrox in 1926 to move to fc|Hibernian. He won a second Scotland cap with Hibs, but lost his place in the team in 1930 after dislocating a finger.
He gained two Scotland caps during his career, both coming against Wales in 1925 and 1927. He made his debut on 31 October 1925 and kept a clean sheet in a 3-0 win at Ninian Park, Cardiff.
