'''Roblin-Russell''' is a former provincial electoral division in the [[Provinces and territories of Canada|Canadian province]] of [[Manitoba]]. It was created by redistribution in 1979 (with considerable territory from the former riding of [[Roblin (Manitoba riding)|Roblin]]), and was abolished in 1999.

Roblin-Russell was located in southwestern Manitoba. It bordered [[Arthur-Virden (Manitoba riding)|Arthur-Virden]] to the south, [[Minnedosa (Manitoba riding)|Minnedosa]] and [[Dauphin (Manitoba riding)|Dauphin]] to the east, [[Swan River (electoral district)|Swan River]] to the north, and the province of [[Saskatchewan]] to the west. [[Roblin, Manitoba|Roblin]] and [[Russell, Manitoba|Russell]] were the two largest communities in the riding, which also contained much rural territory.

The riding was initially a [[Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba|Progressive Conservative]]/[[New Democratic Party of Manitoba|NDP]] marginal, but was generally safe for the Tories in the 1990s. When it was abolished, its territory was divided into the new ridings of [[Russell (Manitoba riding)|Russell]] and [[Dauphin-Roblin (Manitoba riding)|Dauphin-Roblin]].
