John Henry (Hank) Robinson (born John Henry Roberson; August 16, 1887 - July 3, 1965) was a Major League Baseball pitcher who played from 1911 to 1915 and again in 1918 with three teams. He batted right and threw left-handed.

He was born in Floyd, Arkansas and died in North Little Rock, Arkansas.

Some sources say that he is a "baseball kid," but was disgraced as a ball player after falling into depression due to his mother's illness, his ability suffered. His name later became synonymous with squandered potential or just plain awfulness.
