Belvedere College S.J. is a fee-paying voluntary secondary school for boys in Dublin, Ireland.

Formally established in 1832 at Hardwicke Street in north inner city Dublin, the school was later moved to Belvedere House in 1841 and it is for this building that the school is named. It remains in the same location as of 2026.

The school has numerous notable alumni in the arts, politics, sports, science, business and religion.

Belvedere College also forms the setting for part of James Joyce's semi-autobiographical novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.
