Philip Robinson b. 1973 is a journalist who writes primarily for the Mail on Sunday and the Daily Mail.

His first novel, Charlie Big Potatoes, was published in 2003 by Macmillan, and, according to WorldCat, is in 202 libraries and his second, USS Alcatraz, in 2012; the latter forms the first volume in a series entitled The Locust Trilogy. He lives with his wife, fellow author Anna Maxted, and their three sons in North London.
