Colin James Nutley (born 28 February 1944) is an English filmmaker who became known for his work in Sweden's film and television industry.

He directed the first two episodes of children's television series Press Gang, but was unhappy with the final edit and asked for his name to be removed from the credits.

Nutley's work in Sweden began with the making of Annika, a TV series about a Swedish girl who spent three weeks on England's Isle of Wight as a language student.

Then came the documentary Where Roses Never Die, a film about life in a small Swedish country village which was also the inspiration for House of Angels.

His first feature The Ninth Company was a black comedy, the story of a group of young conscripts that tries to make a smart economic killing.
