Lloyd Robertson (born 1934 in Stratford, Ontario) is the anchor of Canada's nightly CTV National News. Before he joined CTV in 1976, Robertson anchored rival CBC's The National, from 1970 to 1976 and before that, in the late 1960s, he hosted a show called CBC Weekend. One of the reasons he left CBC was his frustration at union regulations which confined news anchors to the role of announcer, prohibiting them from writing their own scripts or participating in editorial decisions concerning the news broadcast.

From 1976 to 1984, Robertson co-anchored the CTV News with the late Harvey Kirck. When Kirck left CTV in 1984, Robertson became the senior news anchor for CTV. Robertson has covered many major events throughout his career, including several Olympic Games, Terry Fox, the repatriation of the Canadian Constitution, both the 1980 and 1995 Quebec referendums on separation from Canada, many federal elections, the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the power outage crisis on both sides of the border. On the scene, he has covered the fall of the Berlin Wall, state funerals, and royal, papal, and U.S. presidential visits.

Robertson's signature ending of each news broadcast is, "...and that's the kind of day it's been."

Joe Flaherty parodied him as the newscaster Floyd Robertson on the comedy program SCTV.

Now in his 29th year as anchor of the CTV National News, Robertson is the longest-serving news anchor on North American television. He's also the longest-serving news anchor in Canada.
