Los Medanos College (LMC) is a two-year community college in Pittsburg in Contra Costa County, California. LMC has an extension in Brentwood.

The name, meaning "inland sand dunes" in Spanish, refers to the sand dunes that characterize its location in eastern Contra Costa County along the Sacramento River and in the foothills of Mt. Diablo. The college, opened in 1974, is one of three publicly supported two-year community colleges in the Contra Costa Community College District (along with Contra Costa College and Diablo Valley College). Current enrollment is 14,000 students.

35 associate degrees and 23 certificates of achievement are available as of 07/2011. Several transfer-specific associate degrees are awaiting approval as of 07/2011. Many students complete their first two years of college here and transfer on to 4-year colleges and universities all over the country. Others move right into a specialized career or enhance their skills.
