Madeleine Collinson (born July 22, 1952 in Malta) is a model and actress. She was chosen as "Playboy" magazine's Playmate of the Month in October, 1970 , together with her twin sister Mary Collinson. They were the first identical twin Playmates.

The Collinson Twins first arrived in Britain in April 1969 [Simon Sheridan "Keeping the British End Up" (Reynolds & Hearn Books) Third Edition 2007 - ISBN 978-0952926078] , and prior to their appearance in Playboy one of the first people to use them was the famed glamour photographer/film maker Harrison Marks who cast them as saucy maids in his short film "Halfway Inn". The film, made for the 8mm market, was shot sometime between their British Arrival, and July 1970, when a still from the film was used in a Marks' Advert that ran in that months issue of Continental Film Review magazine [Continental Film Review July 1970 Page 26 ] . Both sisters went on to acting careers, mostly in B-movies. Madeleine married a British Royal Air Force officer and raised three children. She later moved back to Malta and is now involved in cultural and educational activities there.
