Colin the Vet is a fictional character who has his own comic strip in the UK comic The Beano. As the name implies, the strip is about a veterinarian called Colin, who encounters all sorts of crazy animals. The strip is drawn by Duncan Scott.

It was one of the nominees to be voted into The Beano by readers in early 2004. Although Joe Jitsu won, it was only a 1 % victory over Colin, so both were added to The Beano.

A running gag in his comic strips includes hidden "Celebrity Pets". Fictional pets owned by famous people. Many of the pets' descriptions are puns on the name of the celebrity. (Such as "Ant and Dec's Ant on decks)
