Guilford Young College is a Catholic senior secondary college, located in Hobart, Tasmania. It has two campuses, one in West Hobart, and one in Glenorchy. The college provides general education, pre-tertiary courses and vocational education.

Guilford Young College was formed in 1995 having been established by the Archdiocese of Hobart, the Christian Brothers, the Dominican Sisters, the Salesians of Don Bosco, the Sisters of Charity and the Sisters of Saint Joseph. It was established after a restructuring of the Catholic education system in southern Tasmania, which saw a number of Catholic high schools drop their senior secondary (years 11 and 12) classes in favour of creating one senior secondary college. Its creation fulfilled the vision, originally articulated by Archbishop of Hobart Sir Guilford Young, to build a Catholic Senior Secondary College in Hobart, which would provide excellence in learning for our young men and women within a community of faith. The College was commissioned to continue the great traditions and the spirit of the founding orders and the Colleges which had contributed to its foundation.
