Anatolia College (Greek: Κολλέγιο Ανατόλια, pronounced [koˈleʝio anaˈtolia], or sometimes the American College (Greek: Αμερικάνικο Κολλέγιο, pronounced [ameriˈkaniko koˈleʝio]), is a private, non-profit, educational institution located in Pylaia, a suburb of Thessaloniki, Greece. The school has three subdivisions: Anatolia Elementary, Anatolia High School (which includes an International Baccalaureate Diploma Program, IBDP) and the American College of Thessaloniki, (ACT), the tertiary division of the institution.

It is the only school in Greece with a full boarding program

In 1810, the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions was founded in Boston and established the Bebek Seminary outside Constantinople in 1840. In 1862, it was transferred to Merzifon, and in 1886, the Anatolia College of Mersovan was founded as a theological seminary with Charles Tracy as President. The students were principally Greek and Armenian, most coming from outside of Merzifon and boarding at the school, while the faculty was Greek, Armenian, and American. Enrollment soon reached 115 students. In 1893, the girls' school was founded.

In 1920, enrollment stood at 218 students, with an equal number in the girls' school and the campus consisted of more than 40 New England style buildings. Anatolia included a kindergarten, a school for the deaf, high schools for boys and girls, a college-level program, a theological seminary, one of the largest hospitals in Asia Minor, and an orphanage for 2000 orphans.
