Colin Ernest John Guest (born 7 October 1937, Melbourne, Victoria) is a former Australian cricketer who played in the Third Test at Sydney in the 1962-63 Ashes series. He was brought in to replace Ken Mackay whose slow batting was disliked by the crowds and who was unfairly blamed for the defeat in the Second Test at Melbourne. Guest was a fast-medium bowler and was used to support Alan Davidson and Garth McKenzie. Although Australia won the Test Guest failed to take a wicket and was dropped in favour of a return for Mackay.

Guest played first-class cricket for Victoria from 1958/59 to 1963/64 and for Western Australia in 1966/67.
