The Robinson R88 is an under development helicopter designed and built by Robinson Helicopter Company. It has ten seats and is powered by a Safran Arriel 2W turboshaft engine. Unlike the R22, R44, and R66, which use a teetering bar control, the R88 uses conventional dual controls.

It was announced in March 2025, with first flight expected later in the year.
