The Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) was a college athletic conference in the United States which existed from 1915 to 1959.

Established on December 2, 1915, its four charter members were the University of California (now University of California, Berkeley), the University of Washington, the University of Oregon, and Oregon Agricultural College (now Oregon State University).
