Ringsend College is a multi-denominational secondary school and further education college run by the City of Dublin Education and Training Board (CDETB). The college operates under a local sub-committee which is representative of parents, staff, community, local primary schools and industry. It is chaired by Kevin Humphreys.

The original college was opened by the Earl of Pembroke on 7 October 1893 as a technical and fisheries college for the community of Ringsend. The Ringsend Technical Institute (the current form of the college) was opened by Taoiseach Garret FitzGerald on 15 April 1983, and was renamed to Ringsend College in 2011.

The college offers the Junior Cert, Leaving Cert, Repeat Leaving Cert, Post leaving Cert, and FIT/VTOS Adult programmes.
