St Boniface's Catholic College is a voluntary aided school for boys and sixth-form girls, under the direction and trustees of the Roman Catholic Community in the Plymouth area in the South West of England.

It is a five-form entry college of 815 students, between the ages of 11 to 18, taught by a full-time staff of 50.

The school originally opened on the Beacon Park site in 1931, moved briefly to Buckfast Abbey during the World War II and more recently to Crownhill in 1981 when it merged with Co-educational school Bishop Vaughan. On January 1 2008 the College was renamed and readdressed as "St Boniface's Catholic College" at 21 Boniface Lane, Manadon Park, Plymouth.
