The youngster, believed to be around four years old, is understood to have disappeared from the Church Walks area of the village, close to Abergele Road.
Cops launched the hunt late last night, with the help of police dogs, drones and a helicopter.
Officers are also conducting house-to-house enquiries and searching the surrounding streets, while firefighters scour a nearby river.
A spokesperson for North Wales Police said: “We currently have concerns for a young child seen unaccompanied in the Colwyn Bay area.
“Officers are in the area conducting searches for the child to ascertain their safety.
“If anyone has any information that will assist in identifying them, please call urgently on 999 quoting ref B085155.”
T/Supt Jon Bowcott later urged people out looking for the youngster to return home while officers continue their hunt.
“Officers will continue to search for and attempt to identify the child through the night, along with professional search teams,” he said.
“There is currently a significant number of members of the public out searching for the child, and whilst initially helpful, this may now be causing the child, if still out to stay hidden.”
