Rosseau Lake College (RLC) is a co-ed boarding and day school for students from Grades 7 to 12, located on Lake Rosseau, on the northern border of the Muskoka District in Ontario, Canada. RLC is a member of the Canadian Association of Independent Schools (CAIS), the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) and the Conference of Independent Schools of Ontario Athletic Association (CISAA). The mission statement for RLC is to foster "Best of self" of its students. The average class size is between 10 and 15 students.

It was originally named Rosseau Lake School when it was founded in 1967, on the former Eaton family estate, as an all-boys school. The first Headmaster was Ronald H. Perry, who left retirement to rise to the challenge of creating a new school. In 1983, it became a co-educational school.
