Edward Kay Robinson FZS (12 December 1855 – 20 January 1928) was a British journalist and popularizer of natural history studies.

As an editor at Lahore of the Civil and Military Gazette he encouraged Rudyard Kipling in his early years.

The eldest brother Phil (1847–1902) helped his father in the newspaper and pioneered an Anglo-Indian style of humorous writing.

He worked for a while at the Globe before going to Lahore in 1885, as editor of the Civil and Military Gazette where he was assisted by Rudyard Kipling.

In 1924, the BBC put up microphones in the Surrey woods to broadcast the song of nightingales along with a talk by Robinson.

He aired ideas that were sometimes contrary to established theory proposing for instance that colourful flowers evolved to deter cattle and other grazers rather than to attract insects.
