Colin James Oliver Harrison (1926 - 2003) was an English ornithologist.
Harrison was born in London, UK. He got a scholarship to grammar school, and then worked as a librarian and a teacher. He had been interested in birds since childhood, and joined an expedition to study autumn migration in Norway. He then got a job in the Bird Room at the Natural History Museum.
At the museum Harrison was put in charge of the egg collection. He later became interested in biogeography and the museum's avian paleontological collection, on which he published a number of articles with Cyril Walker.
