Mark Powell Robinson (born 17 January 1974 in Stratford, New Zealand) is a former New Zealand rugby union footballer. He played nine Test matches for the All Blacks between 2000 and 2002. Playing mainly at centre, Robinson played provincial rugby for Taranaki, Wellington and later Canterbury. In Super 12 rugby he played for the Crusaders, with whom he won two titles: in 2000 and 2002. It was while playing with the Crusaders that he played his only international rugby, two Tests in 2000 and seven in 2002.[1]

Robinson departed New Zealand to play for the Kobe Steelers in 2004,[2] and in 2007 was named as the CEO of the Taranaki Rugby Football Union.[3] He was appointed to the board of New Zealand Rugby in 2013,[4] was elected to World Rugby's Executive Committee in 2014.[5]
