Copper Col is a col at in the Osterrieth Range on Anvers Island in the Palmer Archipelago of the British Antarctic Territory. It is found between Copper Peak and Billie Peak.

The bealach has a summit at about 1,650 feet, east of Börgen Bay. It was roughly surveyed by Discovery Investigations in 1933. It was resurveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Arthur Harbour in 1955.

The name of the col is derived from that of Copper Glacier on its south-eastern side: Copper Glacier appears in this position on a chart based on a 1927 survey by Discovery Investigations personnel on the RRS Discovery. The glacier's name in turn is derived from that of Copper Peak below which the glacier lies.
