St Peter Claver College is a Roman Catholic co-educational secondary school located in the suburb of Riverview in Ipswich, Queensland, Australia. It was founded in 1976, on the traditional lands of the Ugarapul clan of the Yuggera Nation, and was named in honour of St Peter Claver, the Spanish Jesuit priest and Patron Saint of the slaves.

The founding principal of the school, Bob Cullen, had served in St Peter Claver College for ten years. After his transfer to the Catholic Education Office (CEO), the Marist Brothers, having been involved with the schools from early in its history, were appointed the task of assigning principals for the College. The current principal, Mr Diarmuid O'Riordan, was selected as principal in 2008.

St Peter Claver College is a culturally diverse school which draws its students from a wide range of backgrounds. Many of the students and staff are Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, Samoan, Tongan, Maori and Cook Islander, as well as Vietnamese, Ugandan, Indian, Chinese, Filipino, and many others. The College offers Cultural Dance, the study of different cultures (in subjects such as Religion, Social Studies and History), and the study of different languages (Vietnamese, Japanese and Spanish) to the student body.
