Colin Tyrer is an English former rugby league footballer who played as a fullback for Leigh, Wigan, Barrow and Hull Kingston Rovers, and also made three representative appearances for Lancashire.

Tyrer played in Wigan's 2-7 defeat by Castleford in the 1970 Challenge Cup Final during the 1969–70 season at Wembley Stadium, London on Saturday 9 May 1970. Tyrer kicked a penalty early in the game, but was forced to leave the game following a collision with Castleford scrum-half Keith Hepworth, leaving Tyrer with a broken jaw. He was replaced by Cliff Hill, and was the first ever player to be substituted in a Challenge Cup final.
