The Hoosier College Conference (HCC) was a men's intercollegiate athletics conference founded in 1947 by eight members of the Indiana Intercollegiate Conference. After consisting solely of colleges in Indiana for 24 years, the conference changed its name in 1971 to the Hoosier-Buckeye Collegiate Conference (HBCC) to reflect the admission of schools in Ohio. It existed for another 15 years in its rebranded form.

Throughout its history, the conference always consisted exclusively of private schools. With the exception of founding member Rose Polytechnic (today Rose-Hulman) in the years 1947-50, all members were affiliated with various Protestant Christian denominations.

HCC and HBCC members competed in the National Association for Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).
