Loreto Mandeville Hall Toorak is an independent Roman Catholic single-sex primary and secondary day school for girls, located in Toorak, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It is one of many Loreto schools around the world, established by the Loreto Sisters founded some 400 years ago by Mary Ward.[2]

The Loreto Sisters purchased Mandeville Hall in 1924 having previously established schools in Ballarat and Albert Park with encouragement from St Mary MacKillop.[3] Mandeville Hall was built in 1867 and is on the Victorian Heritage Register and is considered of national and international significance.[4]

Loreto Mandeville Hall had a co-educational Early Learning Centre established in 2002 which was in partnership with St. Kevin's College. This partnership was dissolved at the end of 2020 and ownership of the St Peter's Early Learning Centre was transferred to St Kevin's College. Both the junior school and secondary school are located at 10 Mandeville Crescent, Toorak.
