Daventry University Technical College was a University technical college (UTC) in Daventry, Northamptonshire, England which opened in September 2013. The UTC specialised in engineering, construction and environmental sustainability.[1]

Daventry UTC had the capacity to provide education for up to 600 14- to 19-year-olds [1]. It closed in July 2017 because of low pupil numbers and subsequent financial difficulties.[2] The building was taken over by The Parker E-ACT Academy from September 2017.[3]

The UTC was sponsored by the University of Northampton, Moulton College and local businesses.
