COVID-19 pandemic in Colombia
The COVID-19 pandemic in Colombia is part of the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 () caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (). The virus was confirmed to have reached Colombia on 6 March 2020. From 17 March to 1 September 2020, Colombia denied entry to those who were not Colombian citizens, permanent residents or diplomats, and from 30 September 2020 through 2 June 2021, a negative PCR test result issued within 96 hours prior to departure was required to enter the country by air. Sea borders reopened on 1 December 2020. Land and river borders with four neighboring countries reopened on 19 May 2021, while those with Venezuela remained closed.

Up to June 2021, the country has experienced three waves of the pandemic since its onset in March 2020. Infections and deaths first peaked in August 2020, again in January 2021 following the Christmas holidays, and reached new highs beginning in April 2021. Martha Ospina, director of the National Institute of Health (INS), gave several reasons for the April 2021 wave. People had relaxed their personal biosecurity habits and begun to gather again; many people, especially in Bogotá and Medellín, had never been infected and were thus more susceptible to infection; and extra risk was posed by new variants including B.1.111 (the second most common type in Colombia, which is a more infectious type) and recent detection of the Brazilian (P.1) and British (B.1.1.7) variants.

"Confirmed COVID-19" was the primary cause of death in Colombia in 2020, where the virus caused over 50,000 fatalities by the end of the calendar year. An additional 13,000 deaths in Colombia that year were suspected to be caused by COVID-19, making "suspected COVID-19" the third most common cause of death. The "confirmed COVID-19" death toll doubled during the first half of 2021, reaching 100,000 before the end of June (including all deaths from the beginning of the pandemic).
