Hugh Armstrong Robinson (May 13, 1881 – 1963) was an American aviation pioneer, inventor, engineer, and exhibition pilot active during the formative years of powered flight. He became a pilot and chief engineer for Glenn Curtiss and contributed to important developments in early naval aviation, including work associated with the arresting equipment used in Eugene Ely's pioneering shipboard landing. Robinson was also credited with numerous early aviation achievements, including an air-sea rescue and a medical flight carrying a physician to a patient. A prolific exhibition flyer and inventive engineer, he helped demonstrate the practical and military possibilities of the airplane during aviation's earliest decades.
