Riverside College (formerly known as Halton College) is a further education college based over two sites in the Widnes, Cheshire, England. It was rated "Outstanding" by Ofsted following an inspection in 2020.[1]

The college was established from the merger of Halton College and Widnes & Runcorn Sixth Form College in 2006. Today, Riverside College has two campuses in Widnes: one, the more academically focused Cronton Sixth Form College, situated on Cronton Lane in the north of the town; and the more vocationally focused Riverside Campus, situated on Kingsway nearer to the town centre.

The college provides a range of courses, including GCSEs, A Levels, BTECs, T Levels, Apprenticeships and Access courses. In addition, the college offers some higher education courses, in conjunction with Pearson Education and Staffordshire University.
