Fox Valley Technical College (also Fox Valley Tech and FVTC) is the technical college for the Appleton, Wisconsin area. It is a member of the Wisconsin Technical College System.

Starting in 1912, city vocations schools were formed at six locations (Appleton, Brillion, Kaukauna, Menasha, Neenah, and Oshkosh) in the current district. In 1967, the Wisconsin legislature divided the state into 16 districts, which led to the formation of Fox Valley Technical Institute (FVTI). In 1987, the college (along with all of the state technical colleges) was renamed and it became known as Fox Valley Technical College.

Fox Valley Technical College provides occupational training for specific careers, technical, adult basic education and continuing education, and customized employee training, serving about 50,000 people each year.

The main campus is in Appleton with a second campus in Oshkosh. Fox Valley Tech has smaller regional centers in Chilton, Clintonville, Waupaca, and Wautoma.
