Robigana is a small rural locality within the West Tamar Council area of northern Tasmania, located approximately 20 kilometres south-east of Beaconsfield along the eastern shore of the Tamar River Estuary. The locality covers around 4.3 square kilometres and has a population of approximately 111 residents, giving it a quiet, close-knit character typical of the Tamar Valley region. Its name is believed to derive from an Aboriginal Tasmanian word meaning swan, a fitting reference to the bird life that frequents the nearby estuary.

The locality's small size means residents travel to nearby towns such as Exeter or Legana for groceries, schools, and other services, with Launceston accessible in under 40 minutes. The combination of estuarine beauty, birding, and peaceful rural surrounds makes Robigana appealing to those seeking a tranquil lifestyle close to the natural character of the Tamar Valley.
