Lloyd Mileham Robinette (March 26, 1881 – November 2, 1951) was a Virginia lawyer and politician. A Democrat, Robinette agreed with President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal and was one of the leading opponents within Virginia of the powerful Byrd Organization, who U.S. Senator Harry F. Byrd called "anti's". Robinette represented his native Lee County, Virginia and adjacent Scott County for nearly two decades in the Virginia Senate, until his suicide days before the 1951 election.
