Trina Robbins (born 1938) is an American comics artist and writer. She was an early and influential participant in the underground comix movement, and one the few female artists in underground comix when she started. Her first comics were printed in the East Village Other. She later joined the staff of a feminist underground newspaper It Ain't About Me, Babe, from which she spun off a series of comic books titled It Ain't Me Babe. She became increasingly involved in creating outlets for and promoting female comics artists, through projects such as the comics anthology Wimmen's Comix. She was also the peniciller on Wonder Woman for a time in the '80s.

Some of her work includes:

An adaptation of Sax Rohmer's Dope for Eclipse Comics.
GoGirl with artist Anne Timmons for Image Comics

She was married to comics artist Kim Deitch for a time, and then entered a long-term relationship with artist Steve Leialoha.
