Colin Corkery (born 1971 in Cork, Ireland) is a former Irish sportsperson. He played Gaelic football with his local club Nemo Rangers and was a member of the Cork senior inter-county team from 1993 until 2004.
Corkery played his club football with the famous Nemo Rangers club on the south side of Cork city and has enjoyed much success. He first came to prominence as a player on the club's minor team that captured the county minor championship title in 1989.
Corkery subsequently joined the Nemo Rangers senior team. He secured a county championship winners' medal in this grade in 1993, following a nine-point defeat of near rivals St. Finbarr's. Nemo later represented Cork in the provincial club championship and even reached the final of that competition. A 1–17 to 0–4 drubbing of Kilmurray Ibrickane gave Corkery a Munster club winners' medal. He later lined out in his first All-Ireland club final, with Mayo's Castlebar Mitchels providing the opposition. A goal after just ten seconds helped Nemo to eventually secure a 3–11 to 0–8 victory. With that Corkery collected an All-Ireland club winners' medal.
By this stage Kavanagh had also joined the Nemo Rangers senior team. He secured a county championship winners' medal in this grade in 2000, following a ten-point defeat of divisional side Carbery. Nemo later represented Cork in the provincial club championship and even reached the final of that competition. A 0–11 to 0–7 defeat of Glenflesk gave Kavanagh a Munster club winners' medal. He later lined out in the foot-and-mouth delayed All-Ireland club final, with Mayo's Crossmolina providing the opposition. Nemo looked to be in the driving seat, however, a second-half comeback, inspired by Kieran McDonald, saw the momentum switch to the Mayo side. A late Colin Corkery goal narrowed the deficit to one point, however, Nemo were eventually and narrowly defeated by 0–16 to 1–12.
