Sir Colville Norbert Young GCMG MBE (born 20 November 1932) is a Belizean politician who served as the second governor-general of Belize.

[3] Sir Colville studied at Belize's St Michael's College (now part of Anglican Cathedral College (ACC) and not to be confused with the institution now known as Maud Williams High School), and earned a BA degree in English from the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus, Jamaica, prior to his doctorate in linguistics from the University of York in England.

He ran as the NIP candidate for the British Honduras Legislative Assembly in the Mesopotamia constituency in 1965 and 1969, but was defeated both times by C. L. B. Rogers, the People's United Party incumbent.

Afterwards Young was interested in seeing Belize's development in academia and education, and after returning from England began trying to advance the nation in that regard.

In 1993, just before becoming Governor General, he published a book of short stories called Pataki Full, earning acclaim from the local writing community.

[citation needed] Young became the Belizean governor-general shortly after the UDP under Esquivel regained power in the 1993 elections.
