Curtis Hancock "Curt" Coleman (February 18, 1887 – July 1, 1980) was a professional baseball player whose career spanned six seasons. One of those seasons (1912) was spent with the Major League Baseball (MLB) New York Highlanders. During his only MLB season, Coleman batted .243 with eight runs scored, nine hits, four doubles and four runs batted in (RBIs) in 12 games played. He attended Willamette University until 1906 when Coleman was recruited by Walt McCredie, the manager of the minor league Portland Beavers, to come play for his team in 1906.

After playing for Portland , Coleman's career was put on hold until 1909 when he signed with the minor league Tacoma Tigers of the Northwestern League. Coleman spent three seasons (1909–1911) with Tacoma before joining the MLB New York Highlanders. His final season in professional baseball came in 1915 as a member of the minor league Vancouver Beavers of the Northwestern League.
