Langara College (snəw̓eyəɬ leləm̓ in Halkomelem) is a public degree-granting college in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada which serves more than 19,000 students annually. Langara College started in 1965 as part of Vancouver Community College and in 1970, it opened its West 49th Avenue campus. On April 1, 1994, Langara College was established as an independent public college under the Provincial College and Institute Act. The College is also known as snəw̓eyəɬ leləm̓, house of teachings, a name given to the college by the Musqueam First Nation.
Today, Langara is one of BC's leading post-secondary institutions providing University Studies, Career Studies, and Continuing Studies programs and courses. The college takes its name from the neighbourhood in which it is situated, which was named after Spanish Admiral Juan de Lángara.
