Craig Slater (born 26 April 1994) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for League Two club Colchester United.
Slater began his career at St Mirren but left in 2012 to join Kilmarnock. He made his professional debut in December 2012 and went on to spend four years in East Ayrshire, making 85 appearances. He left in 2016 to join English League Two club Colchester United.
Slater has represented Scotland at under-16, under-17, under-19 and under-21 levels.
Born in Glasgow, Slater played for the youth teams at St Mirren "since the age of five or six". On leaving school in 2010 at the age of 16, he signed professional terms and a two-year contract. However, he said "going into training every day just wasn’t enjoyable any more and I felt as if I wasn’t going anywhere with the club" and asked to have his contract terminated in 2012. He briefly trained with Rangers but he left with the club suffering financial difficulty, before joining Kilmarnock.
Slater made his professional debut for Kilmarnock on 29 December 2012, in an away match against Motherwell coming on as a substitute in a 2–2 draw. He made one further appearance for Killie during the 2012–13 season, starting in their 3–1 home defeat by Hibernian on 15 May 2013.
