Muriel Evelyn Robb (1878 to 1907) was an English tennis player best remembered for winning the ladies' singles title at the 1902 Wimbledon Championships. The final set a record as the longest women's final: rain stopped play on the first day with the score at 4-6, 13-11, and she won the replayed decider the next day 7-5, 6-1. She also won the Irish and Scottish singles titles in 1901 and the Welsh title in 1899. Educated at Cheltenham Ladies' College and a member of the Jesmond Lawn Tennis Club in Newcastle, she reached at least the quarterfinals in all four of her Wimbledon appearances before dying of lymphadenoma in 1907.
