Colin Burns (born June 30, 1982, in Newark, Delaware) is a retired American soccer goalkeeper who last played for Sandefjord Fotball.

While playing for Delaware ODP, he was selected to the Region one team from 2000 to 2001 traveling with them to tournaments in France, the Netherlands and Switzerland.

He had trouble obtaining a work permit in Scotland so he left in November 2005 and returned to the U.S.[1] Later on, he also had a training stint with French club Troyes AC.

Burns returned to Europe in August 2006 to sign a one-year contract with FC Olimpia Bălţi in the Divizia Naţională, the top league in Moldova.

[2] Burns played for eight matches for Olimpia before canceling his contract during the winter break due to the financial crisis of the club.

Much of the football media regarded Burns as one of the top goalkeepers in the league during his short stay in Moldova.

After the match, TPV head coach, Mikko Purola, was quoted in a local Tampere newspaper as saying, "This game showed that Burns is the best goalkeeper in the league.

Ljungskile went on to win the match 2–1 in front of a record home crowd of 7,100 people thereby ending Gothenburg's stretch of nineteen unbeaten games started in the 2007 season.

[12] Burns took over the starting goalkeeping duties for the remainder of the season on August 17, playing away to Henrik Larsson and Helsingborgs IF.
