Colin Vance (10 October 1929 – 16 August 2018) was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[2]

A full forward, Vance surprised onlookers in his debut in Round 1, 1955 when he attempted his first set shot with a place kick, which had long disappeared from the game; the kick was well wide of the goals.[3] He occasionally used place kicks throughout his junior and senior career. He played only three senior games for South Melbourne, and later played for Sandringham in the Victorian Football Association.
