Frances Ellen 'Nell' Truman Robinson (12 December 1945 – 8 April 2012), was a female tennis player from the United Kingdom who was active in the 1960s and early 1970s and was mainly known for her performance as a doubles player.

She was the sister of tennis player Christine Truman.

She won a gold medal in the singles event at the 1967 World Student Games in Tokyo.

During the 1968 Wightman Cup, the match was tied at three all, and Nell partnered sister Christine in the deciding rubber. The sisters won the match, and Nell hit the winning shot to give the British team a victory, their first triumph over the U.S. team since 1960.
In February 1968, she won the singles title at the French Covered Courts Championships in Paris. At the Alexandria Championships in Egypt, played in March 1968, she defeated Olga Morozova in the final to win the singles title.
