St. Columb's College is the equivalent of a Roman Catholic all-boys high school in Derry City, Northern Ireland. High schools are known as colleges in Europe, including in Britain and Ireland.

The College has a student population of over 1500. Its alumni include Brian Friel, Phil Coulter, Seamus Heaney, John Hume, Mark Durkan, writer Seamus Deane,manager Martin O'Neill, Derry City FC physio Colm O'Neill, journalist Eamonn McCann and overhead and free kick specialist John Fullerton.
