St. John's College is a State Integrated, Catholic, Day School for boys, located in Hastings, a provincial city in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand.

Founded in 1941 by the Marist Fathers, St. John's College has a non-selective enrolment policy (although it does give preference to students from Catholic families) and currently caters for approximately 450 students from Year 9 (3rd Form) to Year 13 (7th Form).

In 2006 its ethnic composition was Pākehā 73%, Māori 23%, and Pacific 4% . Academically, the school offers senior years the National Certificate of Educational Achievement assessment system (NCEA).

St. John's College is the oldest private/state integrated secondary for boys in New Zealand outside the traditional main centres of Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin (Te Aute College, also in Hawke's Bay was previously the title holder but became coed during the 1990s).
