Robin Falls is a locality in the Northern Territory of Australia located on the Cox Peninsula and adjoining land about 103 kilometres (64 mi) south of the territory capital of Darwin.[5][1]

The locality was named after Robin Falls, a waterfall located within its boundaries and which is reported as being named by Clyde Fenton, a North Territory medical practitioner and pilot, after Robin Cook, the “daughter of Dr M Cook, Chief Medical Officer and Chief Protector of Aboriginals from 1927 to 1939”. Its boundaries and name were gazetted on 4 April 2007.[6][5]

Robin Falls includes the site of a former World War II era chemical warfare facility which was listed on the Northern Territory Heritage Register on 2 March 2011 under the name of the WWII 88 Mile Burrell Creek Chemical Warfare Depot and Camp.[7]

The 2016 Australian census which was conducted in August 2016 reports that Robin Falls had 13 people living within its boundaries.[8]

Robin Falls is located within the federal division of Lingiari, the territory electoral division of Daly and within the unincorporated areas of the Northern Territory.[4][3][2]
