Carlo Colaiacovo (born January 27, 1983 in Toronto, Ontario) is a Canadian ice hockey defence player currently with the Toronto Maple Leafs of the NHL.

Colaiacovo was drafted 17th overall by Toronto in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft. Colaiacovo has been bothered by injuries that have hindered him from becoming an NHL regular, but the Maple Leafs still consider him to be a good prospect. He scored his first career NHL goal on 8 November, 2005 against the Washington Capitals. Colaiacovo has become known for his hitting in Toronto, in particular open ice body checks that have been delivered to Bill Guerin and Todd Bertuzzi so far this season.

On January 23, 2006, Colaiacovo missed a hipcheck on Vaclav Varada in a game against the Ottawa Senators, smashing head-first into the boards. He was taken off the ice in a stretcher. The injury is reported to be a major concussion, and he is expected to be out for the remainder of the season.
