John Collie (born Dunedin, New Zealand, circa 1964) is the former drummer for New Zealand band Straitjacket Fits. Collie was previously a member of Doublehappys with Shayne Carter,[1] a band which he had joined in 1984.[2] Collie also drummed for ephemeral Dunedin "super-group" The Weeds on their one-off 1985 single "Wheatfields".[3]

Collie has retreated from the music scene since the end of the Fits, and is now a full-time photographer.
