Kolonica (, ) is a village and municipality in the Snina District of the Prešov Region of north-eastern Slovakia. It has a population of about 600 people.

==History== In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1567. Before the establishment of independent Czechoslovakia in 1918, Kolonica was part of Zemplén County within the Kingdom of Hungary. In 1939, it was for a short time part of the Slovak Republic. From 1939 to 1944, as a result of the Slovak–Hungarian War of 1939, it was again part of Hungary. In 1944, the Red Army entered Kolonica and it was once again part of Czechoslovakia.
