Slemish College is a co-educational integrated secondary school located in Ballymena, Northern Ireland.

Slemish first opened its doors in September 1996 with just 84 pupils. The school has continued to grow with an annual intake of 110. It is one of the most oversubscribed school in Northern Ireland [http://www.niassembly.gov.uk/education/moe/moe010522.htm] . In June 2008 the College was given specialist school status in the area of the Humanities (Geography and English) [http://www.slemishcollege.org.uk/news/?p=91] . It is the the first specialist school in the Ballymena area and one of only three schools in the province to specialise in humanities.

The college is named after Slemish Mountain near Ballymena in Mid Antrim, which tradition suggest was home to Saint Patrick during his youth.
