Maxime Jean-Yves Colin (born 15 November 1991 in Arras) is a French professional footballer who plays as a right back for Brentford. He won seven caps for France at U20 level.
Beginning his career as a forward, Colin spent his youth career as an amateur with a number of clubs in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region, most notably Arras and Avion. After earning his degree, he turned professional and signed for newly promoted Ligue 1 club Boulogne on 2 July 2009, subsequently moving to right back. The club's relegation straight back to Ligue 2 at the first time of asking saw Colin sign a three-year professional contract in July 2010 and he broke into the team in September, going on to make 28 appearances during the 2010–11 season. He found first team action hard to come by during the 2011–12 season, making just 10 appearances as Boulogne suffered another relegation. Colin's final appearance for the club came in a Coupe de la Ligue first round shootout defeat to Niort on 7 August 2012, before his departure the following month. He made 52 appearances during three years at the Stade de la Libération.
Colin moved back up to Ligue 1 to sign for Troyes on 3 September 2012. He was in and out of the team during the 2012–13 season, making 24 appearances and a run to the semi-final of the Coupe de France failed to gloss over Troyes' relegation to Ligue 2. Colin was an undisputed first choice during 2013–14, making 42 appearances as Troyes finished in mid-table and went out of the Coupe de la Ligue at the semi-final stage. He made three appearances early in the 2014–15 season before departing the club on 29 August 2014. Colin made 69 appearances during two seasons with Troyes.
