Thomond College of Education, Limerick (Coláiste Oideachais Thuamhurnhan, Luimneach in Irish) was established in 1973 in Limerick, Ireland as the National College of Physical Education to train physical education teachers. The college was renamed to Thomond College of Education in 1975 when subjects other than physical education were added; these included metalwork, rural science and woodwork.
The college was placed on a statutory basis in 1980; in 1991 the college was dissolved and integrated into the University of Limerick and now forms the Department of Educational and Professional Studies at the university.
