Colonel Colin MacLeod Robertson CB DSO TD DL JP (7 May 1870 – 2 July 1951), sometimes incorrectly listed as Charles Macleod-Robertson, was a British Army officer and a sailing competitor at the 1908 Summer Olympics.[1][2][3][4][5]

He was a crew member on the Mouchette which finished second of two teams competing in the 12 metre class.[1][6] At the time, only the helmsman and mate were awarded silver medals, while the crew received bronze medals.[1] However, Macleod-Robertson is credited as having received a silver medal in the official Olympic database.[2]
