Born 1944. Robin Ward is a Canadian film actor, television actor, game show host and actor.

Robin Ward (born April 1, 1944) is a Canadian actor and television personality. He is known for hosting a 1980 to 1981 revival of the American game show To Tell the Truth and later hosting a Canadian game show called Guess What from 1982 to 1988. He was also an actor on the soap opera The Guiding Light, in addition to having starred in the Canadian-produced 1973–74 science fiction series The Starlost and served as narrator of the late-1980s revival of The Twilight Zone for a season, replacing Charles Aidman.

He was also an on-location reporter for Good Morning Toronto, a morning program on The Weather Network's Toronto-area feed from 1998 to 2003. He has played in a number of guest and supporting roles in television and some motion pictures.
