Mitch Robinson (born 7 June 1989) is an Australian rules footballer with the Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League.

Robinson is a midfielder/half-forward who played junior football in Tasmania. In 2008, as an eighteen-year-old, he played eleven games for the Tasmanian Devils Football Club in the Victorian Football League, as well as two games for the Lauderdale Football Club seniors in the Southern Football League, and one game for the Tassie Mariners in the TAC Cup. He featured prominently at the AFL Under-18s Championship, winning the award as the Hunter-Harrison Medal as the best player in Division Two of the competition. He was drafted by the Carlton Football Club with its 3rd round selection (#40 overall) in the 2008 AFL National Draft, and made his debut in Round 1 2009 against Richmond at the M.C.G., scoring three goals.

Robinson quickly became popular with Carlton fans, both for his hardness at the ball and his hyperactivity in interviews. However, he received only limited exposure in the AFL in his first season, playing ten games for Carlton and spending the rest of the time with VFL-affiliate [[Northern Bullants. After Round 20, Robinson succumbed to stress fractures in his foot which ruled him out for the rest of the season.
