Maurice Collins (1878 – 9 August 1945) was an Australian politician. Born in Mount Bryan, South Australia, he was educated in that state before becoming a grazier, landowner and sheep breeder. He was involved in local politics, sitting on Terowie Shire Council and Burra Council. In 1928, he was elected to the Australian House of Representatives as the Country Party member for Wakefield, defeating long-serving Nationalist MP Richard Foster. However, he was defeated in the election of the following year by the Nationalist candidate Charles Hawker. In 1932 he relocated to Adelaide and became an author. Collins died in 1945.
