St. Augustine College was a private college in Chicago, Illinois. It was the first bilingual institution of higher education in Illinois. It was founded on October 7, 1980, under the auspices of the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago.

Plazas, Ph.D.[8] On April 25, 2023, it was announced that St. Augustine would merge with Lewis University at the end of the Fall 2023 semester, maintaining its bilingual instruction legacy as St. Augustine College of Lewis University.[9]
