Lluís Coll Hortal (3 August 1937 – 8 January 2008) was a Spanish footballer who played as a winger. He scored 6 goals from 46 matches in La Liga playing for Barcelona and Valencia, and appeared in the lower divisions for Girona, Condal, Granada and Olot. He was capped for his country, once at under-21 level and once for Spain's 'B' team.
Coll was born in Anglès, in the Province of Girona in Catalonia. He played for his local team, Titán, before joining the youth system of Tercera División club Girona FC. He made his first-team debut for that club as an 18-year-old, and towards the end of the 1955–56 season was scoring at a rate of almost a goal a game. He assessed his strengths as pace and a good touch.
At the end of that season, Coll signed a five-year contract with Barcelona, and made a promising first appearance in a post-season friendly against Brazilian club São Cristóvão, setting up a goal for Justo Tejada and scoring himself from Tejada's pass. He made his Primera División debut on the opening day of the 1956–57 season, in a 2–0 defeat of Osasuna, and played once more, before joining Segunda División club Condal on loan at the start of the next season. On his debut he was involved in their winning goal away at Avilés – but was promptly borrowed back by his owning club to replace the injured Tejada in a friendly against Borussia Dortmund. Coll, described by El Mundo Deportivo's reporter as pacy with technical skill and an unforgiving shot, converted a penalty to make the score 4–0.
