Green College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom.

It is one of the youngest colleges of the university. The college is located in an architecturally appealing eighteenth century building: the Radcliffe Observatory.

Green College is dedicated to human welfare in contemporary society. This is interpreted as an academic focus on medicine. Related disciplines, such as education, the environment and social sciences, however, are also covered.

Green College was established in 1979. It is named after its main benefactors: Dr Cecil Green and his wife Dr Ida Green. Cecil Green is the founder of Texas Instruments.

About 40% of the students study in the field of medicine. About 20% are engaged in medical research on a post-graduate level. Environmental change and educational studies are two other strongholds of the college.
