Durham College, also known as Durham Hall until 1381, was a college of the University of Oxford, founded by the monks of Durham Priory in the late 13th century and endowed by Bishop Thomas Hatfield in 1381.
The college was closed in 1545 following the dissolution of the monasteries. After a period of disuse, its buildings were sold in 1555 to Thomas Pope, who used them to found Trinity College, Oxford, where the college library and some other architectural fragments survive as part of Trinity's Durham Quadrangle.
Its estates were returned to the Dean and Chapter of Durham Cathedral, which enabled the University of Durham, founded by the Dean and Chapter in 1832, to assert itself as the successor to Durham College.
