Theodore Robinson (3 iulie 1852 – 2 aprilie 1896) a fost un pictor impresionist american rennumit pentru peisajele sale impresioniste. A fost unul dintre primii artisti americani care s-a apucat de stilul impresionist la sfarsitul anilor 1880, cand a vizitat Giverny si a inceput o prietenie foarte stransa cu Claude Monet. Cateva dintre lucrarile lui sunt considerate capodopere ale impresionismului american.
Robinson s-a nascut in Irasburg, Vermont. Familia lui s-a mutat in Evansville, Wisconsin, iar Robinson a studiat arta in Chicago. In 1874 a plecat la New York City pentru a urma cursurile National Academy of Design si ale Art Students League. In 1876 a plecat la Paris pentru a studia sub indrumarea lui Carolus-Duran, iar la École des Beaux-Arts, cu Jean-Léon Gérôme. Prima expuunere a lucrarilor lui a fost in 1877 la Salonul din Paris, iar vara acelui an a petrecut-o la Grez-sur-Loing. Dupa calatorii in Venetia si Bologna, s-a reintors in Statele Unite in 1879. In aceasta perioada Robinson a pictat intro maniera realista, cu usoare tuse, nu inca impresioniste, deseori redand oameni angajati in ocupatii domestice sau agrare.
In 1884 Robinson s-a reintors in Franta unde va sta timp de opt ani, vizitand America doar ocazional. Robinson a gravitat la Giverny, care devenise centrul artei impresioniste franceze sub influenta lui Claude Monet.

La Giverny, Robinson a pictat ceea ce istoricii de arta considera ca sunt cele mai frumoase lucrari ale sale. In aceste picturi a descris imprejurimile rurale in diferite momente, in traditia plein air, uneori cu femei in pozitii de relaxare.
Robinson a plecat din Franta si de langa Monet pentru ultima data in 1892, desi avea de gand sa se reintoarca. Inapoi in America, Robinson a obtinut un post de profesor la Brooklyn Art School si a tinut ore de vara in Napanoch, New York, langa muntii Catskill Mountains, unde a pictat cateva scene.

Cu New York City ca baza, Robinson a circulat printre artistii americani care au adoptat impresionismul si care erau din ce in ce mai multi. In special cu John Henry Twachtman si Julian Alden Weir a legat prietenii foarte stranse, si-a petrecut timpul in Cos Cob Art Colony din Connecticut. Acolo a pictat o serie de scene cu barci la Riverside Yacht Club care sunt considerat printre cele mai frumoase lucrari ale sale.

In 1895, Robinson a avut parte de o perioada productiva period in Vermont, iar in februarie 1896 i-a scris lui Monet despre reintoarcerea la Giverny, insa in aprilie a murit de un atac de astm acut in New York City. A fost inmormantat in orasul sau natal in Evansville, Wisconsin. Avea 43 de ani.
