Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor (meaning in English "Meirion-Dwyfor College"), also known as CMD, is a college in Gwynedd, Wales at Dolgellau, serving the areas of Meirionydd and Dwyfor. It has a bilingual language policy and offers the possibility of studying most subjects through the medium of Welsh. Since 1 April 2010, it is a constituent college of Coleg Llandrillo Cymru.

Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor has three main sites - Dolgellau in Meirionnydd, Pwllheli in Dwyfor and Glynllifon (for agricultural courses) near Caernarfon. The Dolgellau site was previously Dr Williams' School, until this closed in 1975.

Notable former pupils include singer Duffy (singer), who was elected president of the Students' union.^[1]

Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor formally merged with Coleg Llandrillo Cymru on 1 April 2010.
