Sir Dove-Myer Robinson (15 June 1901 – 14 August 1989) was Mayor of Auckland City from 1959 to 1965 and from 1968 to 1980, the longest tenure of any holder of the office.
He was a colourful character and became affectionately known across New Zealand as "Robbie".
He was one of several Jewish mayors of Auckland, although he rejected Judaism as a teenager and became a lifelong atheist.
He has been described as a "slight, bespectacled man whose tiny stature was offset by a booming voice and massive ego".
