Agnes Robertson Robertson (31 July 1882 – 29 January 1968) was an Australian Senator for Western Australia.
She was elected to the senate in 1950 as a Liberal Party representative; in 1955 she switched her allegiance and represented the Country Party (the present day National Party of Australia) for the remainder of her parliamentary service; for this reason she is regarded as the first woman to represent the National Party in the Parliament of Australia. She retired in 1962.
