Mettingham College in Suffolk, England was a community of secular canons responsible for the board and education of a small number of male scholars for just under a century. Founded on 24 July 1350 it was finally closed in 1542 as part of the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

Whilst in no way a re-creation of the original medieval chantry college, on 1 September 2012, the College of Our Lady of Mettingham was formally inaugurated under the auspices of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia in the grounds of The White House on the other side of the village of Mettingham. The College OLM is a unique institution which seeks to become an Orthodox pastoral, pilgrimage and education centre.
