St Paul's Collegiate School is a private (independent) Anglican secondary school in Hamilton, New Zealand. Opened in 1959 originally as a boys only school, the school began admitting girls in years 12 to 13 in 1985, then girls in years 11 to 13 in 2010.

St Paul's Collegiate was founded by the Anglican community including the parents of some Southwell School students, but today only a small proportion of St Pauls students are former Southwell students.^{[citation needed]}

The school is located on land that previously was a part of the farm known as Cherrybrook which belonged to Mr. Andrew Primrose, Esq., J.P. an early settler and prominent resident in Waikato.^[2] The land purchased by Primrose was previously confiscated from Māori by the Grey Colonial government.^[3]

The school also owns and operates Tihoi Venture School, located on the edge of the Pureora Forest Park around 50 km west of Taupō. Year 10 students attend Tihoi for two terms (18 weeks) as part of an adventure-based character development and education programme.^[4][5]

The school won the Maadi Cup and Springbok Shield in 2002 and 2003 for rowing.^{[citation needed]}
