Wycliffe College is a private, evangelical Anglican theological college and seminary in Toronto, federated with the University of Toronto and a founding member of the Toronto School of Theology, a consortium of theological schools sharing courses and library resources across the university's downtown campus.

Instruction is in English. The college trains students for ordained and lay ministry, chaplaincy, missions, and theological scholarship, offering graduate-level programs including the Master of Divinity, Master of Theological Studies, Master of Theological Studies in Development, Master of Theology, and Master of Arts in Theological Studies, alongside the research-oriented Doctor of Philosophy in Theological Studies and Doctor of Ministry, plus shorter certificates and diplomas in Anglican Studies, Theological Studies, and Christian Studies.

Wycliffe suits candidates preparing for parish or diocesan ministry within the Anglican tradition, evangelical Christians pursuing theological education, and students seeking doctoral-level research training in theology, drawing applicants from across Canada and internationally who plan to serve in ministry, academia, or community and development work.
