Colney () is a village in the western outskirts of Norwich in the England county of Norfolk.
Colney is located west of Norwich and north-east of Wymondham.
Colney is listed in the Domesday Book as a settlement of 34 households in the hundred of Humbleyard. The village was divided between the estates of Roger Bigod, Godric the Steward and William d'Ecouis.
The A47, between Birmingham and Lowestoft, and the B1108, between Carbrooke and Ipswich, both run through the parish.
St. Andrew's was heavily re-built in the Fourteenth Century and was further restored in the Victorian era. The church boasts a curious memorial to a John Fox who was killed in 1806 in an accident which warns carriage drivers to be careful when driving as well as a late-Medieval Baptismal font. The church also holds memorials to members of the Barclay family, Cornet William Scott of the Bengal Light Infantry (d.1856) and to a local woman who was killed in the Boxing Day Tsunami.
The John Innes Centre and Quadram Institute, both parts of the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital are located within the village.
Norwich City's Lotus Training Ground is located in Colney.
The village's national constituency is South Norfolk which has been represented by the Labour's Ben Goldsborough since 2024.
