St. Paul's Co-educational College (Traditional Chinese: 聖保羅男女中學), (often abbreviated as St. Paul's Co-ed., St. Paul's or SPCC) is a Christian secondary school located at 33 MacDonnell Road, Mid-levels, Hong Kong.

Until after World War II, it was a girls-only college. It is under the Direct Subsidy Scheme.
