Villanova College is a private, Roman Catholic school for boys located in Coorparoo, a southern suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The school has a non-selective enrolment policy for all years. It caters to approximately 1,500 boys in three schools, Junior, Middle, and Senior from year five to twelve. It was established in 1948 by six Irish priests, led by Ben O'Donnell, who was from the Order of Saint Augustine in the suburb of Hamilton. In 1954, due to a lack of prospects for growth in Hamilton, the college moved to its present site at Coorparoo. The college is a member of the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA), The Independent Primary School Heads of Australia (IPSHA) and the Associated Independent Colleges (AIC).
