Selina Mae Robinson (born 1963 or 1964) is a Canadian politician, who was elected to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia in the 2013 provincial election. She represents the electoral district of Coquitlam-Maillardville as a member of the British Columbia New Democratic Party. She was initially declared defeated on election night, with the riding deemed to have been won by Steve Kim of the BC Liberals. However, once absentee ballots were counted, she pulled ahead to win the riding by a 35-vote margin over Kim. A judicial recount was conducted, which confirmed Robinson's victory by a final margin of 41 votes. Prior to her election to the legislature, Robinson was a member of Coquitlam City Council.
