Vince Colosimo (born November 11, 1966 in Melbourne) is an Italian Australian stage and screen actor. He has worked in both Australia and the United States, the latter on popular shows like The Practice and Without a Trace. Colosimo is married to fellow actor Jane Hall - whom he worked with on A Country Practice in 1994 - and has a daughter, born in 2002.

Making his film debut in the coming-of-age story Moving Out (1983), it is probably Colosimo's performance in the comedy The Wog Boy (2000) that gained him attention. His performance as Dr. Rex Mariani in The Secret Life of Us in 2003 resulted in further exposure. Other credits to his name include the cult movie Chopper (2000) in which he played Melbourne drug dealer Neville Bartos alongside Eric Bana, Lantana (2001), Walking on Water (2002), Take Away (2004) and Opal Dream (2006), and TV series After the Deluge (2003), Blue Heelers (2005) and MDA (2005).
