Khyber Medical College, located in the city of Peshawar, Pakistan, is arguably one of the higher ranked medical institutions in the country. It is listed in the World Health Organization directory of medical schools and is one of the several graduate colleges of the University of Peshawar. It provides training to future leaders in patient care and provides modern health care facilities to the people of Peshawar. College buildings added during 1960 to 1980 were designed by Pakistani Architect A. R. Hye.

The college was founded in 1954 by Mr. Ghulam Muhammad, Governor General of Pakistan, with the vision to create a centre of excellence in medical training, health care and biomedical research. Since then it has expanded steadily to meet the growing health care needs of the ever expanding Peshawar city. To provide dental health facilities to the people of Peshawar, a dentistry department was founded in 1964 which is now called Khyber College of Dentistry.

The college has a distinguished faculty of more than 1200 full-time teachers and researchers in 26 research-oriented basic and clinical academic departments. More than 8000 graduates call Khyber Medical College their alma mater. Around 1000 medical students are enrolled in the college in any given year. Every year a high number of graduates are accepted in residency and sub-speciality training programs in the United States and United Kingdom. Professor Fazal Ahmad is currently the dean and principal of Khyber Medical College.
