Rose Bay Secondary College is a co-educational public high school located in the suburb of Dover Heights, Sydney, Australia.

The school was established in 2003, following the amalgamation of Dover Heights High School and Vaucluse High School and operated using the facilities of those schools as separate campuses. In 2006, the school was consolidated into one campus on the Dover Heights site.

Rose Bay Secondary College caters for students in years 7-12 drawn primarily from the local area. The college also has a selective stream, created in 2005, for academically gifted and talented students with around 60 students enrolled in each year. Entry into the selective stream is conducted according to Selective High Schools Test in Year 6 prior to enrolling at the school in Year 7. Alternatively, students can enrol in the selective stream by applying directly to the school.

Due to an increase in students arising from the merger, the school has undergone renovations costing around AU$31 million. The school offers facilities such as a gymnasium, hall, tennis courts, netball courts, oval, lecture theatre, canteen, basketball courts, as well as many others.
