Colin Gregor (born 31 May 1981) has been captain of the Scottish rugby union 7s team since 2009. He is only the 8th player, and first Scot, to score over 1,000 points on the IRB Sevens World Series. He is one of only 13 in all forms of rugby.

Gregor has played in over 40 IRB Sevens World Series tournaments, three Sevens World Cups (in Hong Kong 2005, Dubai 2009 and Moscow 2013) and the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.

Prior to signing a full-time contract to captain the 7s team in 2011, Colin amassed over 100 appearances in 8 years at the Glasgow Warriors. During this time he also featured 9 times for Scotland A, including selection for the Churchill Cup in 2006 and 2008, alongside regular appearances on the IRB Sevens World Series.

He also writes regular articles for The Sun newspaper and undertakes charity work for The Craig Hodgkinson Trust and Chest Heart Stroke Scotland. Furthermore, he is a "Champion" for the Winning Scotland Foundation "Champions in Schools" project.

His rugby career started with mini rugby at GHK and subsequently Glasgow Hawks. In the latter years of his education at Balfron High School he joined his local team, Strathendrick RFC. Colin played an integral role as the team in the 8th division of Scottish rugby went on a 'fairytale run' to the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup.

After moving to Edinburgh, in 1999, to study history at the University of Edinburgh (graduated with a 2:1 MA History) he joined Watsonians. In his final year of study he first represented Scotland, at the 2003 Hong Kong 7s. Whilst playing for Watsonians RFC he regularly competed on the King of the Sevens circuit, winning tournaments at Gala, Hawick, Jed-Forest, Peebles and Earlston. From Watsonians he signed professional terms with Glasgow Warriors, in 2004.
