Robin Fraser (born December 17, 1966, in Kingston, Jamaica) is a soccer defender, one of the best defenders in Major League Soccer's history.

After the team moved to Division I before the 1987 season, he was recognized as an All-American in 1987 and 1988, and was a finalist for the Hermann Trophy as a senior. After graduating, Fraser joined the Colorado Foxes of the APSL (later the A-League), for whom he played from 1990 to 1995.
