Colin Hamilton (born 7 May 1992) is a Scottish footballer who plays as a defender and is currently in his second spell with Arbroath.
A former youth player at Stenhousemuir, Hamilton was signed by Heart of Midlothian in March 2009. He was first included in a matchday squad on 15 May 2011, remaining an unused substitute as they concluded the Scottish Premier League season with a 2–1 defeat at Dundee United.
In September 2011, Hamilton returned to Stenhousemuir. He made his debut on 24 September, playing the full 90 minutes as they defeated East Fife 2–1 at Ochilview Park in the Scottish Football League Second Division. A week later he scored his first goal, a header in a 5–2 loss at Airdrie United. On 19 October, his loan was extended until 24 December, the maximum 91 days.
In 2012, Hamilton joined another Second Division team, Arbroath, and made his debut on 18 August in a 4–2 win over Ayr United at Gayfield Park. His first goal for the club came on 9 February 2013, the only goal of an away victory at Albion Rovers. He made 32 league appearances in his first season at Arbroath, scoring once more, an equaliser in a 4–2 win at Forfar Athletic on 30 March.
In July 2013, he trialled at English club Notts County, but the transfer collapsed. On 24 August, Hamilton was sent off after half an hour for conceding a penalty in an eventual 2–1 defeat at East Fife. He made 35 league appearances in his second campaign at Arbroath, scoring in a 3–4 home defeat to former club Stenhousemuir on 21 September.
