Gertrude Colburn was an American dancer and sculptor (died 1968).
She was teacher of dance from 1916 to 1931 at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, and she only took up sculpting after she had an accident. Her sculptures, often depict dancers in motion, and were created in bronze, plaster, and ceramics, in a broadly Art Deco style.
Her plaster-cast of the hands of the Swiss-born American artist Adolfo Müller-Ury (1862–1947) is today in the Preservation Society of Newport County, Rhode Island. It was formerly in the collection of the radio soprano Jessica Dragonette and the University of Wyoming at Laramie.
In the 1930s she lived at 380 Riverside Drive, New York City.
