Colin 'Col' Kinnear is a former Australian rules football coach who coached the Sydney Swans in the VFL/AFL. He is the son of former Melbourne player Joe Kinnear.

Kinnear started his coaching career at Coburg in 1977 and was senor coach until the end of the 1980 season. He then joined Carlton in 1984, steering the reserves to premierships in 1986 and 1987. He was also assistant coach of the seniors during this period and helped them to the 1987 VFL premiership.

In 1989 he replaced Tom Hafey as coach of Sydney and the club finished a respectable seventh in his first year in charge. They struggled over the next two seasons and in 1992 Kinnear lost his job to Gary Buckenara.

He returned to Carlton after his Sydney stint ended and served the Blues in a variety of positions, including Chairman of the Match Committee, Football Manager, General Manager of Football Operations and General Manager of Special Projects.
