The Letterkenny Institute of Technology (LYIT; Irish: Institiúid Teicneolaíochta Leitir Ceanainn) was an institute of technology, located in Letterkenny, Ireland.

Based at Letterkenny in County Donegal, it was one of the smaller places of third level education in the historic province of Ulster, with a lower student intake than other colleges such as Belfast Metropolitan College and the regional colleges of the North West, South, South East and South West, all of which themselves are smaller than the universities in Belfast and Belfast/Coleraine/Derry/Jordanstown.

In April 2022, it was formally dissolved, and its functions became part of Atlantic Technological University.[1]
