Hope Henry Collins (20 August 1904 – 1 April 1980) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Richmond in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]

His sole VFL match was in Round 1, 1930. He was injured during the third quarter, and substituted off for Ralph Empey at three quarter time, in what was the first 19th man substitution in VFL history following the introduction of the rule that year.[2]
