Gregory L. Robinson is an American engineer and the former director of the James Webb Space Telescope Program at NASA.

[4] Robinson received a full-ride football scholarship to Virginia Union University, where he obtained a bachelor's degree in mathematics.

[9] For his role in improving the performance of the Webb program, Robinson's supervisor, Thomas Zurbuchen, called him "the most effective leader of a mission I have ever seen in the history of NASA.

"[10] Zurbuchen credited Robinson with raising the program's schedule efficiency (how many measures were completed on time) from 50% to 95%.

[11][8] In July 2022, after Webb's commissioning process was complete and it began transmitting its first data, Robinson retired, following a 33-year career at NASA.
