Posthumously published novels credited to Robbins Works bearing Robbins' name continued to appear after his death. The earliest three posthumous Harold Robbins novels (The Predators (1998), The Secret (2000) and Never Enough (2001) are generally thought to have been completed by ghostwriters, but may have been partially or even substantially based on completed work or notes written by Robbins. Junius Podrug has been identified as the uncredited ghostwriter of Sin City (2002) and Heat of Passion (2003). From 2004 to 2011, a series of novels credited to Robbins and Podrug appeared, although they are strictly the work of Podrug, writing in Robbins's style.

In popular culture Robbins is referenced in the 1979 Fawlty Towers episode "Waldorf Salad", in which Sybil Fawlty and a hotel guest bond over their fondness for his novels while Basil disparages his writing. Robbins is mentioned (along with Jacqueline Susann) in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home by Admiral James T. Kirk, as archetypal 20th century writers, whom his first officer Spock recognizes as "the giants".
