Dr. Walter F. Robinson School is a public coeducational primary school located in the U.S. city of Bayonne, New Jersey, run by the Bayonne Board of Education. It was originally opened in 1910 as Bayonne High School, and changed to an elementary school in the late 1930s when the present Bayonne High School was completed. In 1977 it was renamed after a prominent history teacher who became school principal and Assistant Superintendent of Schools and authored a history of the city of Bayonne.

In 2004/05, the school won an American Student Council Association Honor Student Council Excellence Award. As of 2010, the school principal is Maryann Connolly. The school colors are blue and gold and their mascot is the Griffin. The motto is "The Royals Believe That's Why We Achieve".

Students include Egyptian Americans, African Americans, Puerto Ricans, and Filipino Americans.

The BBOE's English as a Second Language (ESL) and Bilingual programs are housed at Dr. Walter F. Robinson School. As a result, many of the city's ELL's (English Language Learners) attend Robinson school, further increasing the already diverse population of the school.
