NO. While the specific term "colony" is disputable in terms of Britain's historic relationship with Egypt, it is fair to say that Britain had military force and control over Egyptian affairs from 1882-1954. After the Officer's Uprising in 1954, Egypt became a completely independent nation.
Briefly, it was an attempt by Great Britain, France, and Israel to take control of the Suez Canal from Egypt in 1956. Militarily it was a success, but politically it was a failure, and the US intervened on behalf of Egypt until the invading forces withdrew.
