Colin Alexander Snedden (born January 7, 1918) is a former New Zealand cricketer. Born in Auckland, he played first-class cricket for Auckland and played in one Test for the New Zealand cricket team against England, at Christchurch in March 1947. Five other New Zealanders made their debut in the same match. New Zealand declared their first innings at 345-9; Snedden was the number 11 batsman so did not bat. He bowled 16 overs, but the third and fourth days were washed out, and the match was abandoned as a draw.
Following his retirement from cricket, Snedden was a radio commentator for many years.
His father, Nessie Snedden, and brother, Warwick Snedden, both played first-class cricket; Warwick's son, Martin Snedden, played in 25 Tests and 93 One Day Internationals for New Zealand.
