Innis College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Toronto. It is one of U of T's smallest colleges in terms of size and the second smallest college in terms of population with approximately 2000 registered students. It is located at the St. George campus in its historic west end, directly north of Robarts Library, and is named after prominent University of Toronto political economist Harold Innis.

The College includes a fully equipped cinema known as the Innis Town Hall, which hosts numerous film festivals, free film screenings, and a variety of other cultural events. It also serves as a venue for Hot Docs, which is North America's largest documentary film festival.

Originally designed to be a wing (now Wetmore Hall) onto New College, Innis College was founded separately in 1964 as the second non-federated college to be formed under the University's administration. Although initially located at the Macdonald-Mowatt house on St. George Street, the College has since relocated to a building on Sussex Avenue that incorporates a substantial Victorian home into a functional modern structure designed by Jack Diamond and Barton Myers. Innis was also the first University of Toronto college to host an open pub (1975) and the first one to sport an equity split between faculty and students on its governing council.

The current Principal of Innis College is Charlie Keil. The current Innis Registrar is Donald Boere.

All Innis College students are members of the Faculty of Arts and Science at the University of Toronto. Governing student bodies include the Innis College Council, the Innis College Student Society (ICSS), and the Innis Residence Council.

Each September, Innis College participates in a campus-wide orientation event for first-year students. During the days leading up to the start of fall classes, students have the opportunity to take part in campus-wide activities, workshops, and team-building opportunities.

The Office of Student Life (OSL) at Innis College oversees various student support services. They offer health and wellness supports, assist students in finding community through clubs and activities, and direct the Innis Insider Mentorship Program. Innis College also offers an Alumni Mentorship Program that connects students with graduated and working Innis students.
