Colin "Tich" Wesley (born 5 September 1937 in Durban, Natal) is a former South African cricketer who played in three Tests in 1960.

He played first-class cricket for Natal from 1957 to 1966 as a middle-order batsman and left-arm spin bowler. He toured England with the South African team in 1960. His highest first-class score was 131, made after Natal followed on against the New Zealanders in 1961-62.[1] His only century in the Currie Cup came in his last first-class season, when he captained Natal B against North Eastern Transvaal and made 120 in the first innings, the only century in the match.[2]

He briefly returned to provincial cricket to captain the Natal team, which played under the name "C. Wesley's XI", in the first season of South Africa's domestic List A competition in 1969-70; they lost the final by two runs.[3]

He owns Wesley's, a chain of tobacco stores in South Africa.[4]
