The Pontificio Collegio Filippino (English: Pontifical Filipino College) is a college for diocesan priests from the Philippines studying at pontifical universities in Rome, Italy. It is also known as the Colegio de Nuestra Señora de la Paz y Buen Viaje, named after the college's patroness, Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage.

Pope John XXIII established the institution with pontifical rights on June 29, 1961, through the apostolic letter Sancta Mater Ecclesia.

The current rector is Gregory Ramon Gaston, a priest of the Archdiocese of Manila.
