Colaba Woods (Marathi: कुलाबा वुड्स) is a garden in the Colaba area of Mumbai, India.

Colaba Woods is located near the President Hotel in South Mumbai. About 5 km from the CST railway station.^[1] The Colaba woods garden is located on C.T.S. No. 87A and 88B. It is spread over 31,000 m². It is a beautiful wooded tree garden near to high sky scraper buildings. In the early 1900's the Tata Electric Company took over an eight-acre plot of land from the MCGM. This was called as Colaba woods. It was a refuse dump. Today, this green forest in the concrete jungle at Cuffe Parade is the lung of the locality. It has several facilities like joggers' track, an amphi-theater, a readers' corner for street children, basketball courts, children play areas and areas for relaxation. Colaba Woods won the Urban Heritage Award in 1989.
