Roblin is a former provincial electoral division in southwestern Manitoba, Canada, that existed from 1914 to 1981.

The riding was created by redistribution in 1914 from parts of Russell and Swan River, eliminated by redistribution in 1979, and formally ceased to exist with the 1981 provincial election.

Roblin was located in the province's mid-northwestern region. After its dissolution, most of its territory was incorporated into the new division of Roblin-Russell, with parts also going to Swan River and Dauphin. In 1999, the region was further redistributed as Dauphin—Roblin.
