Eugene Robinson (born 1955) is a newspaper columnist and assistant managing editor for The Washington Post. His columns are syndicated by The Washington Post Writers Group. In his columns he generally espouses left-wing views, and often criticizes President George W. Bush for his perceived domestic- and foreign-policy failures, especially the Iraq War. He is a member of the National Association of Black Journalists.

Robinson was born and grew up in Orangeburg, South Carolina, and attended Orangeburg High School. He went to college at the University of Michigan, where in his senior year he was co-editor-in-chief of the school newspaper, the Michigan Daily.

In 1976 he began his journalism career at the San Francisco Chronicle, where he covered the trial of publishing heiress Patty Hearst.

He joined the Washington Post in 1980, and worked his way up the ranks, starting as a city hall reporter, then becoming assistant city editor, city editor, South America correspondent, London bureau chief, foreign editor, and, most recently, assistant managing editor. He began writing opinion columns for the paper in 2005.

Robinson currently lives with a wife and two sons in Arlington, Virginia.
