Colin Walker (born 8 July 1949) is an English cellist.
Walker was born in Minchinhampton, Gloucestershire and was educated at Marling School in Stroud and the Royal Academy of Music in London. By his own admission, his greatest regret was not playing on The Beatles' Eleanor Rigby (Haines, Guttenbacher, and Petersdorff 2000).
After his departure from ELO, he reverted to teaching and played cello on the track "Fool's Gold", a track on the album "Thought Talk" by Starry Eyed and Laughing (Haines, Guttenbacher, and Petersdorff 2000).
