Colin Osborne (born 19 June 1975 in Middlesbrough) is an English darts player currently playing in Professional Darts Corporation events.
Osborne has won two PDC Pro Tour events and he also managed to hit two perfect nine dart finishes in 2005. The first one of these came in the Players Championship in the Isle of Wight and a second one followed at the non-televised qualifying rounds for the 2005 World Matchplay.
On his World Championship debut in 2007, Osborne reached the quarter-finals where he was beaten 5-4 by Andy Jenkins.
This great performance was followed by an even better one at the 2007 UK Open, where he beat Michael van Gerwen and Mervyn King as he reached the semi-final only to be beaten 11-10 in a thriller against Vincent van der Voort. He followed this success with victory against James Wade in Las Vegas, only to lose to Peter Manley in the second round.
Osborne suffered a surprising first round exit in the 2008 World Championship, losing 3-1 to Dutchman Erwin Extercatte. In the 2008 World Matchplay, he beat King in the first round, but then lost in the next round to Phil Taylor. Osborne was 10-0 down before finally winning a leg, eventually losing 13-5 with Taylor averaging 109.
In the 2009 PDC World Championship, Osborne beat South Africa's Charles Losper 3-0 in the first round, before losing 4-1 to van der Voort in the second round.
