Cory Robbins (born September 23, 1957) is an American record executive. Robbins founded two influential record labels.

The first, Profile Records (in business from 1981 to 1996; Robbins left in 1994), grew to become a large independent label that proved key in the rise of hip-hop as a commercially viable genre, most notably in breaking hip-hop's first multiplatinum act, Run-D.M.C.

The second, Robbins Entertainment (founded in 1996), has been a pioneer charting dance music's course into the 21st century.

Robbins is currently the owner and president of Robbins Entertainment, which is based in New York City's Tribeca neighborhood.
