Mitchell Robinson is an Australian rules footballer who played for the Brisbane Lions in the Australian Football League (AFL).

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 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 (No. 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 played sporadically in the AFL in his first two seasons, playing 26 of 46 possible games for Carlton and spending the rest of the time with VFL-affiliate Northern Bullants. His breakthrough came in the 2011 season when he won a regular place in the team and became a key ball-winner in the midfield; at midseason, Herald Sun commentator Mark Robinson heralded him as the league's most improved player. He went on to finish seventh in the John Nicholls Medal count for the season and was selected to represent Australia in the 2011 International Rules Series.

Robinson quickly became popular with Carlton fans for his hardness at the ball – often in apparent disregard for his own safety, to the point where his style is sometimes described as "kamikaze".

Robinson was signed by the Lions in 2014 and was the joint Merrett-Murray Medal winner in 2015. He earned himself the Player’s Player award in 2019 as well as the Shaun Hart Trademark Player of the Year.
