Michael Alexander McRobbie AO (born October 11, 1950) is an Australian–American computer scientist and university administrator.

In 1996 he and Kilnam Chon proposed what became Asia Pacific Advanced Network at a symposium held at Tsukuba, Japan.

[16] The state-funded $5.3 million I-Light project connected all campuses of the IU system with fiber-optic communications (further expanded in 2010).

[19] McRobbie served as interim provost and vice president of academic affairs of the Bloomington campus in 2006.

[22] By September 2006, the then president of Indiana University, Adam Herbert, announced he wanted to leave office before July 2008.

Some press were critical of a deal that used IU librarians as "guides", although McRobbie resigned from the board before becoming president of the University.

[30] On August 14, 2020, McRobbie announced that he planned to retire at the end of June 2021 after 14 years as the head of the university and that a search committee was being formed to find his replacement.

[34] After living in Indiana for 13 years, McRobbie became a US citizen in October 2010 while still retaining his original Australian citizenship.

[35][36] McRobbie was made a Sagamore of the Wabash, the highest honor the state can bestow, in 2007 by Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels.
