The spouse or partner of the vice president of Colombia is the wife, husband or domestic partner of the vice president of Colombia. Yerney Pinillo is the current domestic partner of the 13th and current vice president, Francia Márquez.

Twenty-three women and one man who have been married to the current Vice President of Colombia. As a semi-public figure, spouses are usually present at various ceremonial or diplomatic activities alongside the vice president. The vice president is not the head of state; thus, their spouse does not officially play as active a role in Colombian affairs as do the spouse of the president. The vice president's spouse, however, is still generally regarded as a public or semi-public figure, frequently accompanying the vice president on campaign and other public appearances, and often hosting dignitaries at the vice presidential house.
