Louis Colin (1835 – 1902) was a French-Canadian Sulpician priest. After pursuing a course of scientific studies, he entered the Seminary of Saint-Sulpice at Paris, where he was ordained priest in 1859. Transferred to Canada in 1862, he at first took up parochial work; later he became successively professor of theology and director of the higher seminary at Montreal. For twenty years Father Colin was the promoter in Montreal of higher education for the clergy and laity. For the clergy he founded the Canadian College at Rome (1885), intended to enable young Canadian priests to pursue a higher course of ecclesiastical studies by attending the Roman universities; besides this he established the seminary of philosophy at Montreal (1892).
