Arthur Robinson (22 June 1855 – 24 February 1913) was an English cricketer. He played three matches for Gloucestershire in 1878.[1] He was the son of Elisha Smith Robinson and the father of Douglas Robinson. He joined E. S. & A. Robinson in 1874 and with his brother Edward steered it towards becoming a limited company. His priority was always the business over County Cricket.[2] In 1874 he made a substantial donation to Marlborough College to enable the building of the cricket pavilion.[3] He was the President of the Grateful Society in 1893.[4]
