Briercrest College and Seminary is a Christian post-secondary institution in Caronport, Saskatchewan, operating Academy, College, and Seminary divisions on one rural campus outside Moose Jaw.

It describes itself as a community of learning that forms students spiritually and intellectually through scripture-centred education for lives of service. Briercrest is accredited by the Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE) Commission on Accreditation to grant certificates and degrees at the Associate, Baccalaureate, and Master's levels, and it confers its own credentials under that accreditation.

Its bachelor's degrees also carry direct authorization from Saskatchewan's Minister of Advanced Education following review by the Saskatchewan Higher Education Quality Assurance Board (SHEQAB); Briercrest was the first institution outside the province's two public universities to receive such authorization, starting with a BA in Humanities in 2013 and expanding to English and History in 2015. The College teaches a Bible-college curriculum integrated with liberal arts and professional disciplines, including biblical studies, theology, Christian ministry, business administration, psychology, English, and music and worship, alongside associate and certificate credentials and a pre-nursing pathway.

The Seminary offers graduate theological education.

Some Briercrest students complete a partnership pathway toward a Bachelor of Science in Communication Disorders through Minot State University.
