The Colorado College (familiarly known as CC) is a private liberal arts college in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It was founded in 1874 by Thomas Nelson Haskell. The college enrolls approximately 2,000 undergraduates at its 90 acre (36 ha) campus, 70 mi (112.7 km) south of Denver in Colorado Springs, with a view of the Rocky Mountains to the west.

Colorado College is known for its non-conventional "block plan," which divides the year into eight academic terms, called "blocks"; a single class is taken during each block.

Colorado College is affiliated with the Associated Colleges of the Midwest. Most of CC's sports teams are in the NCAA Division III, with the exception of nationally competitive Division I teams in men's hockey and women's soccer. The current President of the college is Richard Celeste, former Governor of Ohio, ambassador to India, and Director of the Peace Corps.
