The Colac Football Club is an Australian football club based in the regional city of Colac, Victoria. The clubs plays at Central Reserve Colac.

The current Colac Football Club was founded in 1948 in order to play in the Hampden Football League from 1949. Adopting the jumper worn by the Richmond Football Club, black with a yellow sash, the Colac Tigers won the premiership in their second season. In 1980 Colac merged with their neighbour club Coragulac Football Club and for six years had the title of Colac-Coragulac Football Club. In fifty two years of competing in the Hampden Football League, Colac won ten premierships.

Since 2001, Colac joined the Geelong Football League, club officials claiming that their younger players were working and studying in Geelong and it was difficult to recruit players to play in western Victoria. The closest the club have had success is runners up in 2008.
