Carrington College is a residential college of the University of Otago. This complex of buildings has accommodation for 242 male and female students and was opened in 1945. It was the first university hall of residence in Australasia to accept both men and women students. It is named for G.W. Carrington, a former head of the Otago Education Board. The current Warden is Robyn Madden who replaced Peter Walker at the end of 2016, who replaced Ashley Day in May 2013, who replaced David King in 2007.

The college was known as Carrington Hall until 2006. Carrington College is renowned for its excellent menu. The students at Carrington have a history of an overall high level of academic achievement across all fields of study, and there is also a prevalent musical tradition within the College. Traditionally, Carrington has been known for its 'work hard, play hard' mentality, although under Ashley Day's premiership, the focus of the college has shifted towards academic excellence, with a less permissive attitude to partying.
