Colin Peter Metson (born 2 July 1963 in Goff's Oak, Hertfordshire) is a former English cricketer.
He was described by Dickie Bird as "the best wicketkeeper I have seen in England since Alan Knott".
Metson started his career at Middlesex where he was an understudy to Paul Downton, appearing only when Downton was on international duty from 1981 until 1986. He joined Glamorgan in 1987 to get more game time and soon became their first choice wicketkeeper.
He was the Managing Director of Cricket of Glamorgan County Cricket Club (2010–2012) and was appointed Community and Cricket Development manager on 14 February 2012.
