Joe T. Robinson High School is a public high school for students in grades 9 through 12 located in unincorporated Pulaski County, Arkansas, United States, just outside the city limits of Little Rock.

The school was named after then U.S. Senator Joseph Taylor Robinson in 1927 during the same year Pulaski County Special School District (PCSSD) was formed. Robinson High School moved to its current facilities at the start of the 1981–82 school year and in 2010–11 hosted about 500 pupils, the smallest PCSSD high school population. In the 2024-25 school year, the school will host about 970 students. The school is often referred to as “Pulaski Robinson.”
