Colin Casey (born 10 March 1949) is an Australian former rugby league footballer who played in the 1970s.

Col Casey was a Newtown junior, who came through the ranks to play for the Newtown Jets for nine seasons, and became the Newtown club captain in the late 1970s. Col Casey was a tough forward, who was a favourite of all Newtown fans during his long career.[1] He won the reserve grade premiership with Newtown in 1970, and featured in many great performances for the club over the years. He retired from Newtown in 1979 and took up a captain-coach position at Campbelltown, New South Wales.[2]

In 1982-83 Casey coached Woy Woy, with the side winning the minor premiership but losing the grand final to Wyong in his first season.
