Sorabji Hormasji Munchersha Colah pronunciation^ⓘ (born 22 September 1902 in Bombay – died 11 September 1950 in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India) was an early Indian cricketer.

Born and educated in Bombay, Colah showed promise at a young age. He was a good strokeplay and brilliant fielder. He was one of the players who appeared for India in his first Test in 1932. He made 1069 runs in the tour (900 in first class matches). During the tour, he did not have a good relationship with the captain CK Nayudu and it is recorded that on the way back, Colah threatened to throw Nayudu overboard. He also played in the Bombay Test when England toured India the next year. His other important appearances were against the Australian Services XI in 1935 and Lord Tennyson's team in 1937.

He represented Western India States and Nawanagar in Ranji Trophy and was the captain of the Parsis in the Bombay Pentangular.
