Colin Irwin (19 May 1951 – 3 November 2022) was a British music journalist. Writing mainly about British folk music, Irwin was an assistant editor of Melody Maker in the 1970s and 1980s, before leaving in the summer of 1987 as the magazine moved in a different direction, and editor of Number One magazine in the late 1980s and early 1990s. His book In Search of the Craic details a comic journey around Ireland seeking out pub music sessions, and became a best-seller in Ireland. Subsequent books were In Search of Albion, a similarly light-hearted journey around English traditions and rituals, and Sing When You're Winning, about the history and culture of terrace songs at football matches. He also reviewed music for The Guardian, Mojo, The Daily Telegraph, The Independent, fRoots and Spiral Earth and was a Mercury Music Prize judge.
