Billy Blue College of Design is an Australian private design college focused on teaching a combination of design disciplines including Digital Media, Branded Fashion, Interior Design and Communication Design.

The college is named for Billy Blue, a figure in Australian colonial history.

The college is part of Torrens University, itself part of the Laureate International Universities group. The college was previously part of Think Education which was owned by SEEK Learning.

Other Torrens University colleges include: APM College of Business and Communication, CATC Design School, William Blue College of Hospitality Management, Southern School of Natural Therapies, Australian National College of Beauty, Australasian College of Natural Therapies and Jansen Newman Institute.

Billy Blue College of Design began in 1977 as 'Billy Blue' - a magazine publishing colloquial Australian writing. The magazine was started by Ross Renwick and Aaron Kaplan.

As time passed, various companies used the studio that produced the magazine for their own needs and in 1980, a consultancy, Billy Blue Creative, was formed and won multiple awards before it ceased operation in 2009. The studio’s work covered all aspects of visual communications including brand creation and implementation, corporate and marketing communications, multimedia and web-based projects, signage and exhibition graphics as well as advertising and publishing.
