Erskine College, originally known as the Convent of the Sacred Heart, was a Catholic girls' boarding school in Island Bay, Wellington, New Zealand. The subject of a campaign to protect its historic buildings (the Chapel of the Sacred Heart and the Main Block Convent), it was largely demolished in 2018 to build housing, but the chapel was restored and later reopened in 2023.
