Colo Colo is a historic tugboat of the Chilean Navy built in Scotland for Chile in 1931. She was a steamship until she was reconditioned in 1971, at which time she was re-engined as a motor vessel. She spent her service career in southern Chile.
During the Chilean naval mutiny of 1931 she chased the Chilean submarine Rucumilla near the Quiriquina Island.{{Cite web |url=https://flickrforsalaryman.appspot.com/photos/28047774%40N04/sets/72157631440096690/ |title=Flickrforsalaryman |access-date=1 November 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305050700/http://flickrforsalaryman.appspot.com/photos/28047774@N04/sets/72157631440096690/ |archive-date=5 March 2016 |url-status=dead }}
In 1987 she was withdrawn from service and preserved at the Chilean Navy Museum at Punta Arenas.
