We propose Rob-ULA, a robust variant of the Unadjusted Langevin Algorithm (ULA), and provide a finite-sample analysis of its sampling distribution. In particular, we show that after $T= \\tilde{\\mathcal{O}}(d/\\varepsilon_{\\textsf{acc}})$ iterations, we can sample from $p_T$ such that $\\text{dist}(p_T, p^*) \\leq \\varepsilon_{\\textsf{acc}} + \\tilde{\\mathcal{O}}(\\epsilon)$, where $\\epsilon$ is the fraction of corruptions.
