Trevor Robins (born May 31, 1972 in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player. He played in the minor leagues and in the United Kingdom.

Career Summary
Robins began his major junior career in 1989 with the Saskatoon Blades of the WHL, as a back-up behind starter Damon Kustra; his time as a back-up was short lived however, as Kustra suffered a season ending injury. In his rookie season Robins played 51 times, posting a 4.66 GAA and a .861SV% as the team qualified for the play-offs before ultimately losing in the division semifinals to the Lethbridge Hurricanes. The following season, Robins cemented his position as the starting goalie for the Blades, playing 49 games. The team however would struggle, winning only 29 games and missing the play-offs. His third season in Saskatoon was a successful one, Robins was named as an WHL East First Team All-Star, and the Blades made it to the WHL Championship game, ultimately losing in seven games to the Kamloops Blazers. In the off-season, Robins found himself traded to his home town team, the Brandon Wheat Kings also of the WHL. As of August 2020, Robins owns the Saskatoon Blades record for most appearances by a goaltender with 150. Robins served as the Wheat Kings starting goaltender during the 1992-93 season, and had a stellar season registering a 3.16 GAA and a .904SV% over 59 games. As a result of his strong play, he was again named as a First Team All-Star. In addition, he also won the Del Wilson Trophy, awarded to the Best Goaltender in the WHL.

Upon the the culmination of the WHL season, Robins aged out of junior hockey and turned professional. Following a try-out stint with the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning, Robins signed with the San Jose Sharks, also of the NHL, and played for their minor league affiliate team. During his first pro season, he played sparingly for the Kansas City Blades of the IHL, and also served as the backup goaltender for the CHL's Fort Worth Fire. The 1994-95 season saw Robins serve as the starting goaltender for the Blades, and posted a 3.87 GAA and a .877SV% over 39 games. The Blades had an extended run in the play-offs, ultimately losing in the final to the Denver Grizzlies. During the season also played a single game for the Milwaukee Admirals, also of the IHL. The Sharks would call him up following an injury to Wade Flaherty, where he served as back up to Artūrs Irbe. Robins was due to start a game against the Winnipeg Jets, however, a last minute change of plan saw him remain on the bench.

The 1995-96 season saw Robins sign for the Jacksonville Lizard Kings of the ECHL. Despite being a dependable starting goalie, and posting a 2.81 GAA and as .902 SV%, the Lizard Kings played 7 goalies in the space of four months and Robins was eventually traded to the Richmond Renegades. Despite finishing top of the table in the regular season, the Renegades crashed out of the play-offs in the opening round against the Hampton Roads Admirals. This would be his last season in North America, as Robins moved to the United Kingdom in order to play for BISL outfit, Nottingham Panthers.
