Robin McAuley (born 20 January 1953, County Meath, Ireland) is an Irish rock vocalist known mostly for his work in McAuley Schenker Group and before that Grand Prix with whom he recorded two albums. Between these projects, he had also been part of Far Corporation and released a solo single - a cover of the Paul Ryan-penned song, "Eloise."
He was part of the McAuley Schenker Group for three studio albums: Perfect Timing, Save Yourself, M.S.G., the live album Unplugged Live, and the Japan only EP Nightmare: The Acoustic M.S.G.. He also appeared recently with Schenker on a tribute to Iron Maiden singing "Run to the Hills" as well as a re-recorded version of "Save Yourself" for a Deadline Records compilation.
McAuley also released the solo album Business As Usual exclusively in Japan. Apart from that he appeared on numerous tribute albums as well as two albums by The V-Project. He was lead vocalist of American AOR band Survivor from 2006-2011 and performed lead vocals on the American leg of Michael Schenker's 2012 Temple of Rock tour.
McAuley is also a longtime member of the star-studded Raiding the Rock Vault cast and the vocalist for all-star project Black Swan featuring Reb Beach and fellow Rock Vault alumni, Jeff Pilson and Matt Starr, whose debut album, Shake the World, was released in February 2020. In a 2021 interview with Pariah Burke, McAuley stated the album is his personal favorite he's ever done.
