Colin Buchanan Sword (February 1842 – May 6, 1928) was a Canadian politician. After being defeated in the June 1890 provincial election, he served in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia from a November 1890 byelection until the 1898 provincial election from the electoral district of Westminster (1890 to 1894) and then Westminster-Dewdney (1894 to 1898). Although not a candidate in the July 1898 provincial election, he did run unsuccessfully later that year in a December byelection in the electoral district of Cowichan. Following that defeat, he never sought provincial office again.
