Limerick Institute of Technology (LIT) is an institution of higher education at Moylish Park, Caherdavin, in Limerick, Ireland and offers courses at certificate, diploma and degree level in business, engineering and science as well as other academic disciplines. The institute also offers courses in modern apprenticeships and adult education. Art and design courses are offered at another campus in Clare Street near the city centre – the Limerick School of Art and Design.

A Regional Technical College was planned for Limerick along with the other colleges in the 1960s however when NIHE, Limerick, was announced the plans were dropped and instead Limerick College of Art, Commerce and Technology (Limerick CoACT) developed in an ad-hoc manner eventually developing into Regional Technical College, Limerick in 1993 and retained this name until adopting its current name in 1998.
