Colleen Bawn is a village in the province of Matabeleland South, Zimbabwe. It is located about 153 km south-east of Bulawayo on the main Bulawayo-Beitbridge road. According to the 1982 Population Census, the village had a population of 1,427. The village grew up around the Colleen Bawn gold mine which named after by the prospector who pegged the claim in 1895 after an Irish girl with whom he had been acquainted. A mine was opened in 1905 but after the Second World War, Limestone became the focal mining in the area.
