List of Colorado Avalanche draft picks

This is a complete list of ice hockey players who were drafted in the National Hockey League Entry Draft by the Colorado Avalanche franchise. It includes every player who was drafted, regardless of if he ever played for the team. The Colorado Avalanche franchise was originally founded in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, with the name Quebec Nordiques. In 1995, the franchise moved to Denver, Colorado, and since then has won 2 Stanley Cups.
==Draft picks==
This list does not include data from the Quebec Nordiques (WHA & NHL). All the players that were part of a Colorado Avalanche Stanley Cup winning roster have a blue background on their row. All the players that are part of the current Colorado Avalanche roster are in bold. List complete as of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft and data correct as of the end of the 2008–09 NHL season.
