Colin Carhart McPhee (March 15, 1900 – January 7, 1964) was a Canadian-American composer and ethnomusicologist. He is best known for being the first Western composer to make a musicological study of Bali, and developing American gamelan along with fellow composer Lou Harrison.
He wrote original music influenced by that of Bali and Java, decades before such compositions that were based on world music became widespread.
