Zeno Colò (Cutigliano, June 30, 1920 – San Marcello Pistoiese, May 12, 1993) was a champion alpine ski racer from Italy.
Born in Cutigliano, Tuscany, he was among the top ski racers of the late 1940s and early 1950s. At the World Championships in 1950 in Aspen, he won gold medals in both downhill and giant slalom, and the silver in slalom.
Two years later, at the 1952 Olympics in Oslo, he won gold in the downhill, and finished fourth in the giant slalom and slalom.
Italy waited two decades for its next Olympic gold in alpine skiing, Gustav Thöni's win in giant slalom in 1972.
