Collingwood Warriors was an association football (soccer) team from Melbourne, Australia. It played in the National Soccer League in 1996/97, lasting only a solitary season[1].

The team was formed by Australian Football League club Collingwood Football Club and Heidelberg United, a former NSL team. The home strip was of a shirt with black and white stripes, with streaks of yellow, black shorts and black socks. The club's home ground was Victoria Park. Coached by Zoran Matic, who had previously taken Adelaide City to two NSL championships, the Warriors made a promising start by winning the pre-season competition, defeating Marconi-Fairfield 1–0[2].

However, despite a strong start to the season in which the team went 7 matches without defeat, Collingwood's form slumped and it ended up finishing second from bottom on the table[3]. The team also suffered from financial pressure, and at the end of the 1996/97 season, Collingwood Warriors disbanded. Throughout this period Heidelberg maintained a separate team in the Victorian Premier League.
