Gorobinci () is a village in the municipality of Sveti Nikole, North Macedonia.
Etymology and names Several etymology has been proposed. J. Zaimov proposed it derived from an old nickname Gorobija, composing of gora (hill) and bije. Olga Ivanova, however, proposed a connection with a substratum word groapă (pit, grave). Ljubica Stankovska, an onomastician, considered the toponym a derivative of ancient Slavic personal name beginning with *gor-(mountain).
