Leeds Thomas Danby (formerly Thomas Danby College) was a further education college in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England offering courses for 16- to 18-year-olds and adults. The college was named after the first Mayor of Leeds, Captain Thomas Danby of Farnley. On 1 April 2009, Leeds Thomas Danby merged with Park Lane College and the Leeds College of Technology to form the new Leeds City College.

The Leeds Thomas Danby site, on Roundhay Road in Leeds, was known as the Thomas Danby Campus of the new college. The site was closed in September 2013[1] due to serious concerns regarding asbestos. As of August 2014 the building still existed but was closed to both public and for general use; it had been condemned and was due to be knocked down and made into a car park..

Leeds City College's new Printworks Campus, in Hunslet Road, opened in September 2013 to replace the Thomas Danby Campus.[2][3]
