De La Salle College "Oaklands" (also known as De La Salle College, Toronto, or simply Del by the school community) is an independent, co-educational, Catholic college preparatory institution run by the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools in Toronto, Ontario. Founded by the Christian Brothers in 1851, it offers a rigorous liberal arts education from grades 5 through 12, consistent with its Lasallian traditions and values.

De La Salle "Oaklands" has a distinguished history as a college-preparatory institution in the Roman Catholic tradition as founded in 1679 in Reims, France, by Jean-Baptiste de La Salle (also the patron saint of the college). From 1987 to 1994, the school was operated as part of the Metropolitan Separate School Board, renamed to the Toronto Catholic District School Board in 1998, as part of its family of a public separate secondary schools.
