Colton Douglas Orr (born March 3, 1982 in Winnipeg, Manitoba) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player. Orr was not drafted by an NHL team and signed as a free agent with the Boston Bruins. He now plays for the New York Rangers, as he was claimed off waivers by them in November 2005. Orr is of no relation to Hall-of-Fame defenceman Bobby Orr.

Orr scored his first career NHL goal in a February 9, 2007 game against the Tampa Bay Lightning's Johan Holmqvist.
