John P. Robin (October 15, 1912–May 7, 2000) was an instrumental figure who played various roles in the redevelopment of Pittsburgh over a period of more than forty years, a participant in both the post-WWII Renaissance I and Renaissance II of the 1980s. A lifelong resident of Pittsburgh, he helped transform it from a place of massive pollution known as "The Smoky City" and "hell with the lid off", to a city that was named "America's Most Livable" by Rand McNally in 1985.
