The California College Republicans (CCR) is a California state organization for college and university students who support the Republican Party of the United States.[4] Founded on August 29, 1963, the organization is the official chartered youth wing and a recruiting tool for the California Republican Party. It has produced many prominent republican and conservative activists, with notable alumni such as Kevin McCarthy, Ben Shapiro, and Kevin Kiley.

CCR is an independent political action committee (PAC)[5] that is affiliated with the College Republicans of America (CRA).[6]
