Neil Coles (b. September 26, 1934, England) is a professional golfer. As of 2005 he is the only man to win a professional golf tournament in six different decades, starting in the 1950s and extending into the 21st century.

Coles won thirty won events in his regular career, including seven after the European Tour was officially established in 1972. The European Tour's official site states that he won twenty-five times on the tour, meaning that 25 of the tournaments he won are regarded as having equivalent status to official European Tour events. His last European Tour win came in 1982.

While he never became one of the leading stars of global golf, and did not win a major championship, Coles was remarkable for his durability. He finished in the top ten on the European Seniors Tour's order of merit eight times between 1992 and 2000. In 2002, during which season he turned sixty eight, he finished eleventh. In that year he won the Lawrence Batley tournament at the age of 67 years and 276 days, which was then more than four years older than the greatest age at which any other man had won a senior professional golf tournament. He also had a third place finish in 2003. His final win tally on the Senior Tour was nine.

Coles is currently (June 2005) the chairman of the PGA European Tour's board of directors. He is also a golf course architect.
