I can access objects belonging to a collection like so:
objects_in_collection = bpy.data.collections["My_Collection"].objects
How can I access the collection a specific object belongs to?

Object.users_collection property returns a tuple containing all linked collections:
>>> obj = bpy.context.object
>>> obj.users_collection
(bpy.data.collections['Collection'],)

2$\begingroup$ Many thanks! I also needed to get the name of the collection and was able to do so like this: ob.users_collection[0].name $\endgroup$ Mar 21, 2019 at 14:59

1$\begingroup$ @brockmann :: Is the result always by order? e.g. [0] = direct parent? The official document in your link lacks detail. $\endgroup$ Jul 18, 2020 at 4:10

Select this object by name and it should take you to the right collection. Selection by name is described in this section.
