Collafirth Pier and Marina is located at the Voe of the Brig, in Colla Firth, Northmavine, north Shetland Mainland.

The pier was built in 1988, on the site of an old Norwegian whaling station.

This pier shelters a small marina for local pleasure and shellfish boats.
The pier is the off-season berth for Britain's largest pelagic trawler the 76.2 metre Altaire.
