Gringerry Kibba Colebee[1][2] (c. 1754 – after 1806), also spelt Colebe, Coleby or Colbee, was an eighteenth-century Gadigal man, an Aboriginal Australian people from present-day Sydney.

[5] According to the Eora, he was a senior member of his people – more distinguished than fellow Aboriginal man Woollarawarre Bennelong, who was deferential to him.

[11] On 25 November 1789,[5] Colebee and Bennelong were abducted from Manly Cove by Lt. William Bradley, on the orders of Governor Arthur Phillip, who wanted to use the two men to understand Aboriginal society and customs.

[13][12][14] Colebee escaped after three weeks of captivity, on the night of 12 December 1789,[8][5][7] by severing the rope connected to his leg irons.

[5] On 18 October, Colebee met Phillip, probably at Farm Cove, to conclude a peace agreement and receive a metal hatchet.

[8] Colebee acted as a guide to the settlers, helping to recover fishing gear and leading a lost soldier back to the settlement.

[16][17] Despite an attempt, he failed to bring in Bidjigal warrior Pemulwuy, who had killed Governor Phillip's gamekeeper John McIntyre.

[5] Colebee's first wife was a fisherwoman named Daringa, whose half-brother was Moorooboora, leader of the Murro-ore-dial (Pathway Place) clan.
