Lambton College is a public college of applied arts and technology in Sarnia, Ontario, on the shore of Lake Huron near the Michigan border.

Established in 1967 as one of Ontario's original community colleges, it serves the Sarnia-Lambton region from its main campus at 1457 London Road and delivers programs to international students through additional locations in Ottawa, Toronto and Mississauga operated with partner institutions. The college organizes its roughly 70-plus credential programs into areas spanning business, community services, computer studies, emergency services, engineering and sciences, health care and safety, hospitality and culinary, and technology and trades, awarding Ontario College certificates, diplomas, graduate certificates and an honours bachelor degree in nursing.
