Colin Robertson (born 19 June 1957) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League (VFL) from 1980 until 1986.
A hard running player, Robertson was a versatile footballer who could play across half back, on wing or on the ball. He was recruited to Hawthorn from the Wynyard Football Club in 1980 and became a key part of the club's dominance during the following decade. Robertson was a premiership player in 1983, his best on ground performance thanks largely to a successful tagging job on Tim Watson earning him the Norm Smith Medal.
