愛德華·羅賓遜(1794年4月10日—1863年1月27日)是一位美國聖經研究學者。他在美國和當時的世界聖經研究和聖經歷史學術中心德國學習,翻譯了古代文字和德文書籍。他的《古希臘文-英文新約詞典》在美國成為權威書籍,並在英國重印了幾次。
他在1830年代後期和1850年代對奧斯曼統治下的巴勒斯坦地區的考察期間做的聖經地理學和聖經考古學研究,使他贏得了「聖經地理學之父」和「現代巴勒斯坦學奠基者」的稱號。[1]

1838年,在他的學生Eli Smith的陪同下,羅賓遜前往巴勒斯坦地區考察。他在1841年發表了《巴勒斯坦之聖經研究》(Biblical Researches in Palestine), 獲得了1842年皇家地理協會金獎。1847年,他被選為美國文理科學院 會員。[2]
羅賓遜和史密斯一起,認證出許多聖經提及的地點。 他的成就確立了他成為聖經考古學重要"奠基人",並且影響了從未來的考古田野工作。 他認定的一些 耶路撒冷 地點包括 西羅亞隧道 和老城的 羅賓遜拱 在;後者以他的名字命名。
