Churcher's College is a private co-educational fee-charging day school, founded in 1722. Churcher’s College is regarded as a leading private school in the south of England. [1] The Senior School (ages 11–18) is in the market town of Petersfield, Hampshire with the Junior School and Nursery (ages 3–11) in nearby Liphook. It is a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference (HMC).

The College was founded in Petersfield in the 1720s by the will of Richard Churcher to educate local boys in the skills needed for service in the East India Company.

The headmaster is Simon Williams who replaced Geoffrey Buttle in September 2004. Alumni are known as Old Churcherians or OCs.
