Jeron Robinson (born April 30, 1991, in Angleton, Texas) is an American track and field high jumper. He is a three time NCAA Div II Outdoor Champion (2013-2015) while jumping for Texas A&M–Kingsville. His 2015 victory was capped by a personal best 2.31 m (7 ft 6.81988189 in), to set the NCAA Division II record. He also won the 2013 DII Indoor Championships, finishing second and third the following years. He was the USTFCCCA Div. II Male Athlete of the Year in 2014 and 2015.

After taking 4th at the 2017 USAs outdoors, Robinson took the 2018 USA championship men’s high jump title with a Jump of 2.31m

In 2017, he repeated his 2015 feat finishing 4th at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

Fourth place is normally considered the worst position because it just misses qualifying for subsequent competitions, however in 2017, due to Erik Kynard already holding a bye as Diamond League Champion, Robinson advanced to the 2017 World Championships.
