De Anza College is a 112 acre (453,000 m²) community college located in Cupertino, California. It was founded in 1967 on the site of the Beaulieu Winery and is named after the Spanish explorer Juan Bautista de Anza (who passed through the area in 1776). Along with the arrival and growth of Apple Computer, the presence of De Anza College contributed significantly to the growth of Cupertino from a small town to a major city and an integral part of Silicon Valley.

The college is one of the largest, single-campus community colleges in the country with a fall enrollment averaging 25,000 students from over 50 different countries. The college is also the home of the California History Center. The current president of De Anza college is Brian Murphy. The average class size at DeAnza is 30, and approximately 2,800 students transfer per year.

Each year, De Anza invites several celebrities and dignitaries for public speaking engagements at its main theater, the Flint Center.

De Anza is part of the De Anza-Foothill Community College District, which also administers Foothill College in nearby Los Altos Hills, California. The district headquarters is on the Foothill campus.
