St. Thomas College, Kozhencherry is a government-aided collegeinKozhencherry, Kerala state, South India. Established in 1953, it is administered by the Mar Thoma Syrian Church. Juhanon Mar Thoma Metropolitan and K. T. Thomas, Kurumthottickal, the veteran Minister of the Parish of Kozhencherry were involved in founding the college.

K. K. Kuruvilla (grandfather of the writer Meena Alexander), first principal of Mar Thoma Theological Seminary, Gandhian and a pioneer of the freedom struggle in Travancore, was an influential member of the Travancore Legislative Council. He initiated fruitful efforts on behalf of the Mar Thoma Church in securing a license for the establishment of two colleges (Mar Thoma College, Thiruvalla and St. Thomas College, Kozhencherry) in central Travancore from C. P. Ramaswami Iyer, the then 'Dewan' (Chief minister) of Travancore.

The college accommodates students hailing from the remote regions of the eastern part of Pathanamthitta District.

The college has been awarded 'Rajamudra', a rare honor, from the erstwhile Travancore Royal Family, for the academic progress which it brought about in the Central Travancore region.

The college celebrated its Diamond Jubilee in 2013.

It jubilantly hosted Mahatma Gandhi University Union Kalolsavam (Arts Fest) "Noopura-2017", from Feb.20-24.
