St Mary's College is a Kindergarten to Year 12 Catholic, day school for girls, located on the northern city fringe of Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.

Although predominantly a girls’ school, St Mary's accepts both boys and girls until Grade 2, and currently caters for approximately 900 students from kindergarten to Year 12. It is located on the grounds of St Mary's Cathedral, next to the Junior School campus of St Virgil's College. Boys who attend St Mary's for Kindergarten to Year 2 generally transfer to St Virgil's College Junior School Campus located just next door.

St Mary's College is a member of the Alliance of Girls' Schools Australia.[3] In 2008 St Mary's College celebrated its 140th birthday as a school of the Presentation Sisters. Its slogan to celebrate this year was "St Mary's College. A proud past. A strong future".
