Anqing Teachers College (Chinese: 安庆师范学院) is an institution of higher learning, located in Anqing, Anhui Province, China.

The history of the college dates back to 1897, when the earliest and largest provincial school in Anhui, Jinfu Academy (敬敷书院), was relocated to Linghu Campus. Famed pundits and traditional scholars such as Liu Dagui, Wang Liangwu, Quan Zuwang and Yao Nai, all served as the headmaster (equivalent to president nowadays). In 1898, the Guangxu Emperor of the Qing dynasty ordered it be renamed as Qiushi Academy (求是学堂). In 1902, it was called Anhui Grand Academy. Later, it became Anhui Military Academy, Anhui Army's Academy, and Anhui Judicial and Political College. In 1928, Anhui Provincial University was formed here. In 1946, it became National Anhui University, and thus attained its climax in Chinese modern history of higher education.

After the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, due to the drift of the political center, the school witnessed a series of alterations over the time, though the education mission has never been discontinued. It once became a Navy Academy, a Normal College, and a branch campus of Anhui Normal College. In May 1980, upon the approval of the State Council, it was renamed Anqing Teachers College. In 1998, the college held its 100th anniversary celebration.

In 2010, Anqing Teachers College established a sister institution partnership with Salisbury University in Maryland, United States.[4] Two (2) Salisbury University undergraduate students were the very first to study abroad, at Anqing Teacher's College, and did so during the entire Fall Semester in 2010. In turn, two (2) undergraduate students and a graduate student were the first Chinese students to come, to Salisbury University, from Anqing.
