Collins Cheboi Kiprotich (born 25 September 1987) is a Kenyan middle-distance runner who specialises in the 1500 metres. His personal best for the event is 3:31.53 minutes.
He was a silver medallist at the 2011 All-Africa Games and was part of the world record-setting Kenyan 4 × 1500 metres relay team at the 2014 IAAF World Relays.
Cheboi competed abroad for the first time in 2009. He won the 1500 m at the Bislett Games that year, and also placed sixth at the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix. In 2010 he came sixth at the Kenyan Athletics Championships and ran a personal best of 3:34.17 minutes for fifth at the high-profile Athletissima meeting. On the circuit, he had one victory that year, at the Josef Odložil Memorial.
He acted as a pacemaker around this period but, still determined to compete, he continued after pacing at the Weltklasse in Karlsruhe to place third overall. Outdoors, he set a personal best of 3:33.82 minutes to win at the Rabat Meeting before going on to win the 1600 m race at the Stawell Gift. He came fourth at the national championships, then set a new best of 3:32.45 minutes to take fifth place at the Herculis meeting. He earned his first national selection that year and earned a silver medal at the 2011 All-Africa Games, coming 1500 m runner-up behind fellow Kenyan Caleb Ndiku.
