Colin Charles Bishop (5 October 1903 – 4 March 1980) was an English international rugby union player.

Born in Hampstead, Bishop was primarily a stand-off, but could also play centre.[1]

Bishop gained a Cambridge University rugby blue in 1925 and also played for Blackheath.[2] He won his solitary England cap against France in a 1927 Five Nations match in Paris, forming a halfback partnership with his Blackheath and varsity teammate Arthur Young, but they couldn't make an impact in a 0–3 loss.[3]
