Robin Morton is an American former cycling team manager and was the first and only female manager in mens professional cycling. She also created the first Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) registered American professional road racing team in 1984.

At managers' meetings prior to races in Europe, the race organization would vote on whether Morton would be allowed to ride in the team car.
