Colin Garland (born 28 April 1988) is a professional Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League, currently with the Melbourne Football Club.

Beginning his playing years at the North Hobart in the SFL in Tasmania, Garland was recruited by the Demons from the TAC Cup side Tassie Mariners at pick No. 46 in the 2006 AFL Draft.

Playing for the Demons as an athletic key position player, Garland wears the No. 20 guernsey. He became the first player since the late Troy Broadbridge to wear this jumper, after it was retired for the previous two years (2005–2006).

Garland received a NAB Rising Star nomination (round 14, 2008) for his consistent efforts playing in the Demons backline.
