**Roblin-Russell** is a former provincial electoral division in the [Canadian province](/source/Provinces_and_territories_of_Canada) of [Manitoba](/source/Manitoba). It was created by redistribution in 1979 (with considerable territory from the former riding of [Roblin](/source/Roblin_(Manitoba_riding))), and was abolished in 1999.

Roblin-Russell was located in southwestern Manitoba. It bordered [Arthur-Virden](/source/Arthur-Virden_(Manitoba_riding)) to the south, [Minnedosa](/source/Minnedosa_(Manitoba_riding)) and [Dauphin](/source/Dauphin_(Manitoba_riding)) to the east, [Swan River](/source/Swan_River_(electoral_district)) to the north, and the province of [Saskatchewan](/source/Saskatchewan) to the west. [Roblin](/source/Roblin,_Manitoba) and [Russell](/source/Russell,_Manitoba) were the two largest communities in the riding, which also contained much rural territory.

The riding was initially a [Progressive Conservative](/source/Progressive_Conservative_Party_of_Manitoba)/[NDP](/source/New_Democratic_Party_of_Manitoba) marginal, but was generally safe for the Tories in the 1990s. When it was abolished, its territory was divided into the new ridings of [Russell](/source/Russell_(Manitoba_riding)) and [Dauphin-Roblin](/source/Dauphin-Roblin_(Manitoba_riding)).
