Colne Engaine is a village and a civil parish in Essex, England, situated just north of the River Colne and of the larger village of Earls Colne. The village takes its name from the river, around which it is likely that the earliest settlements were made, and the Engaine family, who were the principal family of the village between 1279 and 1367. Previously the village had been known as Little Colne, and is one of four villages named after the river (the others being Earls Colne, Wakes Colne and White Colne). The parish contains the hamlet of Countess Cross.[1]

Colne Engaine Football Club

Colne Engaine FC, nicknamed 'The Engines', was founded in 1921.

In 2003, the club folded due to lack of interest, however, with the help of the parish council and former club members, the club was reformed in 2005; repairing the changing rooms and moving to local community pitch, Burches Meadow.

The team has been successful with a third successive promotion in 2007/08 by winning the Colchester and East Essex Football League Division One championship, adding the Great Bromley Cup and League Knock out Cup for a historic treble. In 2008/2009, the club won in the Amos Cup for the first time in its history
