Moulton College was a private girls' school in Toronto, Canada which was part of McMaster University.[1][2][3] The school's curriculum was designed to prepare young women for their lives as wives and mothers, although it also offered a matriculation course for women who wanted to attend the University of Toronto or McMaster University.[4]

Founded in 1888, Moulton College was located in the former home of Senator William McMaster and Susan Moulton McMaster on Bloor Street East. The school was affiliated with the Baptist Convention of Ontario and Quebec.

After decades of financial difficulty, McMaster University closed the school in 1954 and sold the buildings.[5]
