Loyalist Collegiate and Vocational Institute (LCVI) is a secondary school (high school) located in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. It is commonly referred to as simply "LC". The school is located at 153 Van Order Drive in the city's Calvin Park neighbourhood, and was built to serve newly developed areas in what was then the west end of the city, where thousands of new homes were being built in the early 1960s. Loyalist was the third high school in the city, and was needed to accommodate the first wave of the baby boom generation then entering their teen years. Construction began in 1962 and classes began in fall 1963. The official opening was held October 6, 1964.

LCVI hosted elementary school students when it first opened, since Calvin Park Public School, planned for construction across the street from the high school, had not yet been completed. The elementary school portion of Loyalist was given the name "Loyalist Senior Public School" (LSPS).

The school was built to accommodate up to 2,000 students. When Loyalist first began operation, secondary enrollment was 715. At the beginning of its second year (1964), enrollment was 984. Enrollment at LSPS in 1963 was 270, and increased to 300 in 1964. Enrollment today is approximately 750. Peak enrollment occurred in the early 1970s, and the major decline toward today's numbers started in the early 1980s.

Under principal John G. "Jack" Linscott from 1963 until 1984, the school was considered a leader in Ontario in combining technical and trades education with superior academic achievement. The school later became widely recognized for its trendsetting International and English as a Second Language programs.

As when it first opened, LCVI again shares space with grade 7 and 8 students who attend Calvin Park Public School. Calvin Park Public School was previously a kindergarten to grade 8 school which opened in 1965 in a separate building directly across the street from LCVI. The original building now serves as an adult education centre and Kingston's French public high school.

The school colours are Kelly green, white and gold, and sports teams use the nickname "Lancers".
