Lancing College (formerly College of Saint Mary and Saint Nicolas), Lancing, Sussex, England, is a Co-Educational English Independent School in the British Public School Tradition, Founded in 1848 by Nathaniel Woodard.

Lancing was the first of a family of more than thirty Schools founded by Woodard (others include Hurstpierpoint College, Ardingly College, Bloxham School and Worksop College).

The School is a Member of The Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference. Girls were first admitted in 1970. The School is dominated by a Gothic Revival Chapel, and follows a High Church Anglican Tradition.

The College of Saint Mary and Saint Nicolas (as it was originally known), in Shoreham-by-Sea, Sussex, was intended for the sons of Upper-Middle-Classes and Professional Men; in time, this became Lancing College, moving to its present site in 1857.

The School's buildings of the 1850s were designed by the architect Richard Cromwell Carpenter, with later buildings by John William Simpson.

Lancing College educates circa 550 Pupils between the ages of thirteen and eighteen; the
