Robin Williamson (born Robin Duncan Harry Williamson on 24 November 1943 in Edinburgh) is a Scottish multi-instrumentalist musician, singer, songwriter and storyteller, who first made his name as a founding member of The Incredible String Band.

in the 70s, Williamson moved to California and formed Robin Williamson & His Merry Band with Sylvia Woods (Celtic harp), Jerry McMillan (fiddle), and Chris Caswell (flutes, and wire-strung harp), following more Celtic roots directions in his music. By this time, he had already contributed to over a dozen albums, toured widely and written fiddle and penny whistle tutors. By the 80s, Williamson was concentrating on harp music.

In 1993, Williamson recorded with British guitarist John Renbourn as John Renbourn & Robin Williamson.

On the three most recent ECM albums, a group of distinguished jazz musicians accompany Williamson notably violist Mat Maneri, bassist Barre Phillips, Swedish multi-instrumentalist Ale Möller, percussionist Ches Smith and English sax player Paul Dunmall.
