Latario Collie-Minns (born March 10, 1994) is a Bahamian triple jumper. He won the gold medal at the 2011 World Youth Championships in Lille, France, and eventually represented his nation Bahamas at the 2016 Summer Olympics, scratching all three of his jumps in the preliminary round. In his college career, Collie-Minns established history as the fifth Bahamian to capture the NCAA men's triple jump title for the Texas A&M Aggies.

Collie-Minns competed for the Bahamas in the men's triple jump at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Leading up to his maiden Games, he popped a personal best of 17.18 m to successfully eclipse the IAAF Olympic entry standard (16.85) at the 2015 Southeastern Conference Track & Field Championships in Starkville, Mississippi, United States. Collie-Minns could not get down a legal mark in each of the three available attempts during the qualifying phase of the competition, failing to advance further to the final round.
