Captain Norman Robert Colville MC (27 January 1893 – 1974) was a British Army officer and art collector. He left the University of Cambridge to join the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders during the First World War. Colville received the Military Cross in 1915 for bravery in making a number of reconnaissances of the Hohenzollern Redoubt. After the war he joined his family's steel-making firm, but moved to Cornwall for health reasons, having been badly gassed during the war. He acquired Penheale Manor which he had extended by Sir Edwin Lutyens to form a house and gallery for his extensive art collection. Colville held works by Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and Fra Bartolomeo as well as a large collection of Near and Middle Eastern artefacts, including the Burney Relief.
