Colleen Patricia Jones (born December 16, 1959) is a Canadian curler and television personality.

She made the switch to television broadcasting in 1984 at CTV, and joined the CBC in 1986.
She joined CBC Television as a reporter in 1986 and went on to cover numerous summer and winter Olympic Games.
Beginning in 1993, Jones has been the weather presenter and sports reporter for CBC Morning News on CBC Newsworld (now CBC News Network).
She is best known as the skip of two women's world championship teams and six Tournament of Hearts Canadian women's championships, including an unprecedented four titles in a row and held the record for most Tournament of Hearts wins from when she won her 67th game in 1994 until her eventual 152 wins were eclipsed by Jennifer Jones in 2021.
In 1999, with her new team of Kim Kelly, Mary Anne Waye (later Arsenault) and Nancy Delahunt, Jones won the Canadian curling title for the second time.
The team repeated this in 2001 and they went on to win the World Curling Championship in Lausanne, Switzerland.
They followed this up with another Canadian championship in 2002 and then won it for a record-setting fifth time at the 2004 Scott Tournament of Hearts.
This made Jones the first skip to win four straight Canadian titles.
From there the team went on to win their second World Curling Championship.
Their return at the 2005 Scott Tournament of Hearts was not as stellar.
The team finished the round-robin at 6–5 and lost in a tie-breaker to Sandy Comeau of New Brunswick.
When this happened, the team got a standing ovation, which even halted play in the other game that was occurring two sheets over.
The following year, the team was back in form, but bowed out in the semi-finals to Jennifer Jones.
At the 2006 Torino Olympics, she did CBC segments about curling.
