Robin Widdows was a British driver who competed in Formula 1 as a professional. He drove for Cooper-BRM, a team fielding six drivers across the indexed record, none of whom established a championship-winning programme.[1]

Widdows made a single Formula 1 start in 1968, finishing 17th in the championship standings across the season. His indexed racing record extends only to that one race.[2]

His appearance in Formula 1 placed him among a field that included both amateur and semi-professional entrants alongside graded professionals, though his record is too brief to characterise his standing against them.
