College of Eastern Idaho (CEI) is a public community college in Idaho Falls, Idaho. It was founded in 1969 as Eastern Idaho Vocational Technical School and later became a technical college called Eastern Idaho Technical College. In May 2017, Bonneville County residents voted to create a community college district, allowing Eastern Idaho Technical College to become a community college. In July 2017, the Idaho State Board of Education appointed five community college trustees and completed the transition to community college.

The college's divisions include Business, Office, and Technology; Health Professions; Trades and Industry; and General Education. College of Eastern Idaho awards an Associate of Arts degree and an Associate of Science degree which are designed to serve students seeking to continue their education at a four-year university.
