Colin van der Voort (born 13 July 1965) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer of the 1980s, and 1990s. He played in the New South Wales Rugby League's Winfield Cup Premiership with the Penrith Panthers from 1986 to 1994[3] and was a member of the club's grand final-winning team in the 1991 season.

He missed the Panthers' 1990 Grand Final appearance due to injury.[4]

Following their 1991 grand final victory, van der Voort travelled with the Panthers to England for the 1991 World Club Challenge which was lost to Wigan.

He was selected but never played a representative game for New South Wales or Australia through injuries. [5]

On 4 October 2006 van der Voort was named in the lock forward position of a 40-year Panthers Legends team.
