Mick Collins (born December 18, 1965) is a musician from Detroit, Michigan.

Collins first received exposure to early rock and roll music through his family's record collection. Living in Detroit, he was also surrounded by the music released from Motown Records. This also provided an influence to his musical evolution

Collins first played in a band called the U-Boats in 1981 and then in the Floor Tasters from 1984 to 1985. In 1986, the 20-year-old Collins helped form the garage punk band, The Gories. The band featured Collins on guitar, Dan Kroha (later of the Demolition Doll Rods) on guitar, and Peg O'Neil on the drums. After three albums and five singles the band broke up after a 1992 European tour.
