Huron University College, referred to locally as Huron College, is one of the affiliated colleges of the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, Canada.

It was founded in 1863 by two Anglican priests and is the oldest affiliated college of the University of Western Ontario. Huron is also home to an Anglican seminary. Huron predates the founding University of Western Ontario by 15 years and acted as a founding element of the larger university. In the latter half of the 20th century, Huron evolved from its theological roots into an institution for those seeking a rigorous liberal arts education along with small classes and individual attention from faculty.

Huron College occupies traditional-style buildings on the West side of Western Road in the Northwest part of the UWO campus.

Huron College was founded on May 5, 1863 by Benjamin Cronyn (first Bishop of Huron) and Isaac Hellmuth (Archdeacon of Huron), as an evangelical low church alternative to the high church Trinity University in Toronto. The first class of 13 students were taught by Isaac Hellmuth (Huron's first Principal) in the winter of 1863.
