Lynn Grant Robbins (born October 27, 1952) is a co-founder of Franklin Quest Company and was a general authority of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) from 1997 to 2022. As part of his general authority responsibilities, Robbins served as a member of the church's Presidency of the Seventy from 2014 to 2018.

Robbins was born in Payson, Utah, and was raised in Springville, Utah. He is a great-great-grandson of George Reynolds. From 1971 to 1973, Robbins served as a LDS Church missionary in the Argentina North Mission. After his mission he married Jan Nielson and they are the parents of seven children.

Robbins received a bachelor's degree in Spanish from Utah State University and a master's degree in international management from the American Graduate School of International Management in Glendale, Arizona.

In 1983, Robbins was one of the founders of the Franklin Institute, which later became Franklin Quest and eventually Franklin Covey.

Amongst other positions in the LDS Church, Robbins has served as an early-morning seminary teacher and as a bishop. From 1994 to 1997, Robbins was president of the Uruguay Montevideo Mission. In this position, Robbins started a program to involve the youth of the church in directly working with the missionaries that led to several baptisms.

Robbins was called as a member of the Second Quorum of the Seventy in 1997. In 2000, he became a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy. In 2003 and 2004, he was a member of the general presidency of the church's Young Men organization. As a general authority, Robbins has also served in several area presidencies and in 2011 was appointed Executive Director of the Media Services Department.

At the church's April 2014 General Conference, Robbins was accepted by the membership as a member of the Presidency of the Seventy, succeeding Tad R. Callister, who was appointed as general president of the church's Sunday School. As a member of the Presidency of the Seventy, Robbins had responsibility for the North America Southwest and North America Southeast areas and participated in the dedication of the Provo City Center Temple. In October 2022, Robbins was released as a general authority and given emeritus status.
