Maurice Colbourne (September 24 1939, Sheffield–August 4 1989, Brittany) was a British stage and television actor.

Colbourne took his stage name from an earlier film actor who had the same date of birth (in a different year) as his. He first became well known when he played the lead in a BBC drama series, Gangsters , during the mid-1970s, and afterwards appeared regularly on screen. He is best remembered as Tom Howard in the 1980s serial, Howard's Way, a part he was still playing when he died suddenly of a heart attack.
