Touro University California is a private non-profit health professions graduate school located on Mare Island in Vallejo, a city in the northern San Francisco Bay Area, in the U.S. state of California. The university was founded in 1997 and was originally established in San Francisco as an independent, Jewish-sponsored institution, but relocated to Vallejo. Today, the university confers degrees in graduate studies of various disciplines including education, osteopathic medicine, pharmacy, physician assistant studies, nursing, and public health. The school's campus consists of 44 acres (18 ha) and 23 buildings of the former Mare Island naval base located east of the San Pablo Bay.

Although sponsored by a Jewish organization, the school has a diverse student body of about 1400 students as well as 100 faculty members. Touro University California is a member of the Touro College and University System, which includes Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine, New York Medical College, Touro University California, and Touro University Nevada. The university is jointly administered with its sister campus Touro University Nevada. In 2014, the U.S. News & World Report ranked Touro University California sixteenth among all United States medical schools for producing primary care residents.
