Colossus is the fourth and final studio album by the American alternative rock band Walt Mink, released in 1997.

Critical reception

The Wisconsin State Journal stated: "The diversity of Colossus shows Walt Mink toning down some of its bombast and cutting loose more than ever: From the odd tunings of the almost-too-precious 'She Can Smile' to the hand-claps of the sparkling acoustic ballad 'Act of Quiet Desperation', Walt Mink seems more assured than ever doing what it does best."

AllMusic wrote: "Energetic and fiery on just about every track with few indications of studio trickery or even a mid-tempo ballad, Colossus just keeps on chugging from start to stop."
