Colin Kazim-Richards (born 26 August 1986), also known as Colin Kâzım, Kâzım or Kâzım Kâzım, is a British-born former professional footballer who played as a forward. Internationally, he represented the Turkey national football team.
Born and raised in England, he qualified for Turkish nationality through his mother's heritage.{{cite web|url=http://www.theargus.co.uk/archive/2005/07/01/The+Argus+Archive/6703084.I_can_handle_the_pressure_insists_new_striker/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120926142222/http://www.theargus.co.uk/archive/2005/07/01/The%2BArgus%2BArchive/6703084.I_can_handle_the_pressure_insists_new_striker/|title=I can handle the pressure insists new striker|archive-date=26 September 2012|work=The Argus|url-status=dead}} An anglicised form of the Turkish given name Kâzım was intended to be a middle name, which would have rendered his full name as Colin Kazim Richards, but due to an error, he was legally registered as Colin Kazim-Richards.
Having played as a junior for Queens Park Rangers and Arsenal, Kazim-Richards was handed a professional contract by Bury. He also went on to feature in the Football League for Brighton & Hove Albion before transferring to Premier League side Sheffield United where he remained for one season. Following his declaration to play for Turkey internationally, he went on to forge a career in Europe with Fenerbahçe, Toulouse, Galatasaray, Olympiacos, Bursaspor and Feyenoord. He had brief spells back in the United Kingdom with Blackburn Rovers, Celtic and Derby County as well as spent four years playing in Brazil and Mexico with Coritiba, Corinthians, Lobos BUAP, Veracruz and Pachuca.
In 2007, he chose to represent Turkey at international level, retiring in 2015. Kazim-Richards earned 37 caps, scoring twice. He was also capped at Turkey U21 and Turkey B level.

Kazim-Richards left his native East London to play for Bury when he was 15.
=Brighton & Hove Albion=
In June 2005, at the age of 18, he was signed on a three-year contract by Brighton & Hove Albion for £250,000.{{cite news |title=Coca-Cola Kid poised to sign |url=https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/6703134.coca-cola-kid-poised-to-sign/ |access-date=2 February 2021 |work=The Argus |date=30 June 2005}} The contract was signed after a fan of the club, Aaron Berry, won the sum for the club in a competition run by Coca-Cola which, in turn, led to Kazim-Richards being dubbed the "Coca-Cola Kid". In August 2006, at the start of the new season, he tried to hand in a transfer request after being dropped by manager Mark McGhee.{{cite news |last1=Naylor |first1=Andy |title=McGhee: I don't want Kazim-Richards to go |url=https://www.theargus.co.uk/sport/879181.mcghee-i-dont-want-kazim-richards-to-go/ |access-date=2 February 2021 |work=The Argus |date=16 August 2006}}
=Sheffield United=
Subsequently, Brighton sold him to Sheffield United for £150,000 on 31 August 2006, the deadline day for the transfer window.

Despite success on the pitch during the 2009–10 season, Kazim-Richards had an argument with Fenerbahçe fans after being taken off the pitch in a match against İstanbul Başakşehir.{{cite web|url=http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/spor/futbol/12522188.asp|title=Koltuk Fener'de - Hurriyet|publisher=hurriyet.com.tr|access-date=5 April 2014}} Against Beşiktaş, Kazim-Richards was red carded for swearing at the referee and banned for four matches.{{cite web|url=http://www.sabah.com.tr/Spor/2009/11/26/kazima_4_mac_ceza|title=Kazım'a 4 maç ceza - Sabah Spor - 26 Kasım 2009|publisher=sabah.com.tr|access-date=5 April 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120324235517/http://www.sabah.com.tr/Spor/2009/11/26/kazima_4_mac_ceza|archive-date=24 March 2012|url-status=dead}} While serving his ban, on the same night that his teammates lost to Kasımpaşa, the media reported Kazim-Richards was out on the town. This report was denied by the Fenerbahçe board who released an official statement. The following day, pictures of Kazim-Richards were released and the Fenerbahçe board rescinded their earlier statement, claiming that Kazim-Richards had lied about his whereabouts which had triggered their denial of the report.{{cite web|url=http://www.fenerbahce.org/fb2008/detay.asp?ContentID=17796|title=Bilgilendirme {{pipe}} Fenerbahce Spor Kulubu Resmi Sitesi|author=Derinev.com|publisher=fenerbahce.org|access-date=5 April 2014}}

In a 2008 interview he said:
