Captain Colin Douglas Maud DSO* DSC* (21 January 1903 - 1980) was a Royal Navy officer who during World War II commanded the destroyers Somali and Icarus and acted as beachmaster of Juno beach at the D-day landings.

His iconic blackthorn stick and dog Winnie provided an enduring image when portrayed by Kenneth More in the film The Longest Day. He was described as "one of the most popular officers in the British Navy".
