Club Social y Deportivo Colo▪Colo (Spanish pronunciation: [colo colo]) is a Chilean football club based in Macul, Santiago. Founded in 1925, they play in the Chilean Primera División, from which they have never been relegated. The team plays its home games at Estadio Monumental David Arellano since 1989. Colo-Colo is regarded as the most successful club of Chilean football.

Colo-Colo has won more Primera División de Chile (31) than any other Chilean club and a record eleven Copa Chile titles. It was the first Chilean team to win a continental tournament conquering the 1991 Copa Libertadores after beating Club Olimpia 3–0 on 5 June with Mirko Jozić as manager. Next year, the club went on to win two international titles that were 1992 Recopa Sudamericana and 1992 Copa Interamericana, completing the club's three international honours.

The club's most winning player is Luis Mena with eleven titles, the historic top scorer is Carlos Caszely with 208 goals, and the player with most appearances is the former goalkeeper Misael Escuti with 417 games.

Colo-Colo is the team with most supporters in Chile, and holds a long standing rivalry with Club Universidad de Chile. The club also holds a traditional rivalry in matches against C.D. Cobreloa and Club Deportivo Universidad Católica. The IFFHS placed the team into the top 30 club ranking in 2007. In 2009, that same institution named the team as the 20th century's top club of its country, and also within the top twenty clubs in South American football history.
