Lindsay Robb (1967–31 December 2005) was a Northern Irish loyalist who was a member of the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) before defecting to the Loyalist Volunteer Force (LVF). A native of Lurgan, County Armagh, Robb was a leading member of the Progressive Unionist Party (PUP) until 1995 when he was convicted of smuggling guns. Having been the main witness in the trial of a leading Provisional Irish Republican Army member in the early 1990s, Robb subsequently made a number of allegations about collusion between the British security forces and the loyalist paramilitaries. He later died in violent circumstances.
