Colin Sinclair (born 1 December 1952 in Edinburgh) is a Scottish former professional footballer who played in the Scottish Football League for Raith Rovers and Dunfermline Athletic, and in the English Football League for Darlington, Hereford United and Newport County. A forward, he made more than 300 League appearances in all, and ended his career where it had begun, with Scottish junior club Linlithgow Rose.^[1]

Sinclair was a member of the Darlington "Dream Team" selected in 2003 via a competition in the club's match programme, as part of the "Farewell to Feethams" celebrations when the club left its longtime home ground.^[2]

After retiring from football he went on to develop a successful career in both the licensed and hotel trades from his base in Linlithgow.^[3]
