Derrick Harold Robins (27 June 1914 – 3 May 2004) was an English cricketer and sports promoter, twice chairman of Coventry City Football Club.

Robins made two further appearances for his own XI, against Oxford University in 1969 and against the Indians in 1971, the latter game coming a few days after his 57th birthday.

In those days there were no sanctions against cricketers who visited South Africa, and Robins's teams included players of high quality, including such names as Bob Willis, Brian Close, Tony Greig and Trevor Chappell.

Detailed accounts of these matches can be found in the International cricket in South Africa from 1971 to 1981 article.

Together with manager Jimmy Hill, Robins oversaw what was known as the "Sky Blue Revolution": he changed the team colours from royal-and-white to all-sky blue, adopted innovative marketing and fan engagement practices, rebuilt Highfield Road stadium, invested in a new training ground at Ryton-on-Dunsmore, and built a side that eventually won promotion to the First Division in 1967.
