The Sir John Robinson Almshouses (commonly the Daybrook Almshouses are a collection of twelve two-bedroom cottages erected in 1899 on Mansfield Road, Daybrook, Arnold, Nottingham

Sir John Robinson of the Home Brewery built the almshouses and also Daybrook Laundry in memory of his son John Sandford Robinson, an amateur jockey, who died in a horse-racing accident on 21 April 1898, aged 30 years.

The Almshouses were visited by King George V on 24 June 1914.

The almshouses are managed by the Sir John Robinson Homes charity (England and Wales Registered Charity № 217941).
