This is a list of colleges and universities in the U.S. state of Oregon. Seven public universities, overseen by the Oregon Office of University Coordination, are operated by boards appointed by the governor, and seventeen community colleges are operated by locally elected boards. There are also numerous private degree-granting institutions.

The largest university in the state is Oregon State University (OSU), with an enrollment of just over 36,0000 (2023). OSU now has branch campuses in Portland, Bend and Newport.

The oldest college in the state is Willamette University, which was established 1842, and is also the oldest university in the Western United States. OSU is the oldest public university in the state, which was established in 1868. Central Oregon Community College (COCC) was founded in 1949 as part of the Bend School District and is the longest-standing community college in the state. The COCC College District was formed in 1959 and was officially established as the Central Oregon Area Education District by a vote of residents in 1962.

This list includes all schools that grant degrees at an associate level or higher, and are either accredited or in the process of accreditation by a recognized accrediting agency.
