Will Robinson is a main character of the 2004 unaired television pilot The Robinsons: Lost in Space. Will is portrayed by Ryan Malgarini.

Will is one of the few characters who pretty much stays the same in this adaption as he is in the original series. However in this version, although ten-year-old Will is still the third child...he now has an older teen brother named David, a teen sister named Judy, and a infant baby sister named Penny. (Note: Both David and Judy Robinson appear to be about the same age. It is possible that they are fraternal twins. However, there is no way to prove this.)

In the original version the government created the Robot, however In this version, Will is the creator of the Robot. Will creates the Robot in a building beside his house on Earth in order to protect himself from school bullies. However his mother Maureen disapproves of him building a Robot to defend himself from his school bullies. Will is obviously still the genius and still the closest to his father. Like in the original version, Will is quite the Daddy's boy. Will manages to save the Jupiter 2 at the end of the pilot when he opens a box containing the Robot, and hooks the Robot's power source to the Jupiter 2 power grid...giving the Jupiter 2 the power to outrun the aliens who are after them. Instead of the silver spacesuits of the original series, these Robinsons wore a two piece white suit that was closable all the way to the collar.
