Jake Robinson (born October 23, 1986 in Brighton) is an English footballer who plays as a striker who plays football professionally for Brighton & Hove Albion F.C..

Robinson, a product of the Brighton youth system, made his debut in September 2003 against Middlesbrough and became the clubs youngest ever scorer (16) just weeks later when he netted in a cup match against Forest Green Rovers. Jake is renowned as a dangerous striker whose pace and movement is reminiscent of the England striker Michael Owen.

On October 28, 2006 Jake scored his first hatrick for Brighton in a League 1 game against Huddersfield Town. This was the first hatrick for a Brighton player in nearly five years. He scored a second hattrick in the FA Cup game against Northwich Victoria F.C. on November 11, 2006.
