Robin Gerard Jefferson (born 18 August 1941) is a New Zealand former cricketer and lawn bowls player.

Jefferson was born at Christchurch in 1941.[1] He made his representative debut for the Southland cricket team duding the 1965–66 season, playing in the Hawke Cup for the side before going on to make his first-class cricket debut for Otago later in the season. He played in Otago's final two Plunket Shield matches of the season and was played for Otago's B team the following season without being recalled to the representative side.[2]

By the 1967–68 season, Jefferson had moved to Wellington and played for the provincial B team during the season. He made three further first-class appearances for Wellington during the 1969–70 season and went on to play Hawke Cup cricket for Hutt Valley during the early 1970s.[2] He scored a total of 94 runs in his five first-class matches with a highest score of 26 not out.[1]

As a lawn bowler Jefferson was more successful, winning the New Zealand national pairs competition.[3] His son, Mark Jefferson played representative cricket for Wellington and Northern Districts and rugby union for Poverty Bay.[3]
