Janet L. Robinson (born June 11, 1950) is an American executive who was the president and chief executive officer of the New York Times Company on December 27, 2004, until she retired on December 31, 2011.

Her mother was Louise Cottell Robinson, a beauty salon owner, and her father was Isaac Frederick Robinson Jr. Robinson received a Bachelor of Arts in English from Salve Regina University, where she graduated cum laude in 1972.
She joined the New York Times Company in June 1983 as an account executive at Tennis magazine. Robinson was national resort and travel manager of Golf Digest/Tennis in May 1985 and the advertising director of Tennis magazine from September 1987 until August 1990.
Robinson was the group senior vice president for the advertising sales and marketing unit of the company's Women's Magazine Group (which has since been sold) since January 1992, vice president and director of advertising from May until December 1994, senior vice president of the group from January 1995 until 1996, and she was senior vice president of advertising.

On December 27, 2004, Robinson was named president and chief executive officer of the New York Times Company and elected as a director of the company.
Robinson unexpectedly announced her year-end retirement from the New York Times Company on December 15, 2011, after twenty-eight years with the company. Her severance package valued at about $23 million was disclosed on March 9, 2012, in the company's regulatory filing. The reasons behind her retirement were undisclosed and fostered questions by business analysts and observers suggesting her departure resulted from personal conflicts with the New York Times Company publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr.
After her departure, Sulzberger Jr. filled in as chief executive officer of the New York Times Company until the search for a permanent successor was completed with the choice of Mark Thompson.
