Robin Jason Sims (born 22 November 1970) is a former English cricketer. Sims was a left-handed batsman who occasionally fielded as a wicket-keeper. He was born at Hillingdon, Middlesex.

Having played Second XI cricket for Middlesex since 1987,[1] Sims made his first-class debut for the county against the touring Pakistanis in 1992. He made three further first-class appearances for the county, the last of which came against Somerset in the 1993 County Championship.[2] In his four first-class appearances for Middlesex, he scored a total of 31 runs at an average of 10.33, with a high score of 28.[3] Sims also played List A cricket for the county, with his debut in that format coming against Leicestershire in the 1992 Sunday League. He made nine further List A appearances, the last of which came against Somerset in the 1993 AXA Equity & Law League.[4] In his ten List A appearances, he scored a total of 83 runs at an average of 27.66, with a high score of 27 not out.[5]

Arguably his most notable moment on a cricket field came during the 1989 Ashes, when in the 2nd Test at Lord's Cricket Ground, he caught Australian captain Allan Border.[6]
