Robin Mark Richardson (born June 26, 1942) is a Canadian former politician who was a Progressive Conservative member of the House of Commons of Canada.

Career
Richardson is an economist by profession and once worked with the Fraser Institute.[1] At one time, he was a minister for a Christian church in Esquimalt.[2]
Richardson represented Ontario's Beaches electoral district which he won in the 1979 federal election.[3] After serving his only term, the 31st Canadian Parliament, he was defeated in the 1980 federal election by Neil Young of the New Democratic Party.[4]
In September 2000, he unsuccessfully challenged incumbent Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca Member of Parliament Keith Martin for the Canadian Alliance nomination in that riding. Richardson was particularly critical of Martin's pro-choice position on abortion, while Martin had finished in fourth place during the Canadian Alliance leadership campaign earlier that year.[2] Richardson managed Stockwell Day's successful leadership campaign within Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca.[5]
In June 2016, he founded the Vancouver Island Party with the goal of advocating Vancouver Island provincehood in the BC Legislative Assembly.[6] The party was disbanded in 2020.
