St John Bosco College is a coeducational Roman Catholic secondary school and sixth form, located in the London Borough of Wandsworth, England.[1] the school is named after Saint John Bosco, an Italian priest, educator and writer of the 19th century, who dedicated his life to the betterment and education of street children, juvenile delinquents, and other disadvantaged youth.

It is a voluntary aided school administered by Wandsworth London Borough Council, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Southwark and the Salesians of Don Bosco. The school was formed in 2011 from the merger of John Paul II School in Wimbledon and Salesian College in Battersea.
