Steve Robinson (born 10 December 1974 in Lisburn) is a Northern Irish footballer who plays for Luton Town. He has also been capped by Northern Ireland on 8 occasions. He began his career at Tottenham Hotspur, but joined Bournemouth due to the lack of first-team opportunities. After a highly successful time at Bournemouth, Robinson joined Preston North End in 2000. After failing to force himself into Preston's first eleven, Steve joined Bristol City on loan until the end of the 2001/02 season.

After this he joined Luton for £50,000 in 2002. He was forced to play on the right-wing by then manager Joe Kinnear, despite his position being an attacking centre-midfielder in his Bournemouth days. New manager Mike Newell soon reverted Robinson to his favoured central-midfield role, and he was rewarded with a League One championship in 2005, and a tenth place finish in the Championship in 2006. During the 2006–07 season, Robinson captained the side in Chris Coyne's absence and was handed a new two year deal by Hatter's boss Mike Newell.
