This is a '''list of dissenting academies''', English and Welsh educational institutions run by Dissenters to provide an education, and often a vocational training as a minister of religion, outside the Church of England. It runs from the English Restoration of 1660, which created a parallel educational system as a side-effect, to the end of the 18th century.{{NoteTag|This list includes the academies (except where otherwise noted) from the first appendix to Irene Parker, ''Dissenting Academies in England'' (1914),<ref>Online at https://archive.org/details/dissentingacadem00parkiala</ref> a work in the public domain. The author comments that Quaker establishments were excluded from her listing. The notes refer to the ''Dictionary of National Biography'' (DNB), and its successor the ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'' (ODNB), to reference and cross-check.<br /> Some of the information about dates is uncertain, and details about students are sometimes contentious. The "Surman Index" links are to lists of Congregational ministers trained in academies, made available by The Surman Index Online, Dr Williams's Centre for Dissenting Studies, http://surman.english.qmul.ac.uk.}}
