The Clayton College of Natural Health is a college based in Birmingham, Alabama. Clayton College is not accredited by any recognised accreditation body. As such, its degrees may not be acceptable to employers or other institutions, and use of degree titles may be restricted or illegal in some jurisdictions.

According to its web site:

Clayton College is accredited by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners and the American Naturopathic Medical Accreditation Board. These are private, professional associations that offer accreditation in naturopathy and other areas of natural health. Both are private accrediting associations designed to meet the needs of non–traditional education and are not affiliated with any government agency.

These organisations are not recognised accreditation agencies and their accreditation has no known academic weight.

It offers distance-learning courses in Alternative Medicine. Clayton College uses unrecognized accreditation, and is so listed by several states, among them Oregon, Texas, and Maine.

In an article describing the school's background history, accreditation status, teachings, and some notable graduates, Stephen Barrett, M.D sums up why he "recommend avoiding both the school and its alumni."

Well-known graduates include Jonny Bowden, Gillian McKeith, and Hulda Regehr Clark.
