Colin George Smith (2 August 1935 – 21 December 2014) was a British former track and field athlete who specialised in the javelin throw. He was the gold medallist in the event at the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games, setting a games record mark of 71.29 m (233 ft 10 ⁄2 in) to win the title. He returned to defend his title in 1962 and was much improved with a lifetime best throw of 77.94 m (255 ft 8 ⁄2 in), but he was beaten into the silver medal position by Australia's Alf Mitchell.
