"Who Killed Doc Robbin" is a 1948 film produced by Hal Roach as a reimagining of his "Our Gang" series.

The film was one of Roach's many "streamlined" features of the 1940s, running only 55 minutes, and was designed as a b-movie. Like most of Roach's latter-day output, "Who Killed Doc Robbin", the sequel to 1947's "Curley", was shot in Cinecolor. Bernard Carr was the film's director, and the film released to theatres on April 9, 1948 by United Artists. It stars Larry Olsen, Billy Gray, and Renee Beard, younger brother of original "Our Gang"er Matthew "Stymie" Beard.

When Hal Roach sold Our Gang to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1938, he was contractually bound not to produce anymore kids comedies. When Roach decided that he wanted to produce "Curley", he got MGM's permission by giving up his right to buy back the name "Our Gang".

Both "Curley" and "Who Killed Doc Robbin", performed midly at the box office, and when Roach bought back the rights to the 1927-1938 Our Gang shorts in 1949, he had to re-christen the series as "The Little Rascals".
