Dunmore Lang College is a residential college of Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia.

The college is a non-profit organisation, affiliated with the university. Established in 1972, it was named after John Dunmore Lang,[1] the first Presbyterian clergyman in Sydney. He arrived in Australia in 1823.[2]

An influential figure in the early history of the college was Dorothy Isabel Knox, Principal of the Presbyterian Ladies' College, Pymble, who guided community appeals for suitable accommodation for ladies. Since a site at the University of Sydney could not be found, attention turned to the then new Macquarie University.[1]

Originally a ladies college, Dunmore Lang College soon became co-educational and in recent years a new wing was created expanding the college to accommodate about 260 students and new conference facilities. The college is fully catered and provides rooms with and without ensuites.[citation needed]

Dunmore Lang College is governed by a board of directors.
