Britton Colquitt (born March 20, 1985) is an American football punter for the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League (NFL). He was originally signed by the Denver Broncos as an undrafted free agent in December 2009; he was with the Broncos when they won Super Bowl 50 over the Carolina Panthers in 2016. He played college football at Tennessee.

He is the son of former NFL punter Craig Colquitt, brother of Kansas City Chiefs punter Dustin Colquitt, and cousin of former NFL punter Jimmy Colquitt. Distant cousin, Greg Colquitt, is a punter at Tennessee Tech University.

He played football and soccer at Bearden High School in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Colquitt played college football for the Tennessee Volunteers at the University of Tennessee, where he majored in political science. During the 2005, 2006, and 2007 seasons he was the Volunteers first team punter. He earned consensus first-team All-SEC honors in 2006 and second-team All-SEC honors in 2007.

While at the University of Tennessee, Colquitt had a well-publicized saga with alcohol problems. He was first suspended from the University of Tennessee football team in March 2004 after three alcohol-related arrests, despite having only arrived on campus in 2003. In his junior season, he was suspended for the first five games of the season and had his scholarship stripped after being arrested on charges of DUI and leaving the scene of an accident.
