"The Robbery" is the third episode of the first season of the American television sitcom Seinfeld. It first aired on NBC in the United States on June 7, 1990. It was written by Matt Goldman, making this the first Seinfeld episode not written by series creators Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David.

In the episode, Jerry leaves Elaine in charge of his apartment while he goes on tour. When he returns, he finds his apartment has been robbed after Kramer left the front door open. While Kramer promises to find the robbers, George offers him the chance to move into a much better apartment—a move he accepts, allowing Elaine to move into Jerry's apartment and away from her annoying roommate Tina.
