Collin Patrick Green (born 1962) is a rear admiral in the United States Navy, who serves as the commander of the Naval Special Warfare Command. He graduated and was commissioned from the United States Naval Academy in 1986. Green also holds degrees from the Catholic University of America and United States Naval War College. He is a naval special warfare officer and previously served as commander of United States Special Operations Command South from 2016 to June 2018.

Green will step down from his current post in September 2020, a year early. Some believe this is due to his interactions with President Trump over the decision by the president to reinstate the rank of SEAL Eddie Gallagher.
