Waiopehu College is a state coeducational secondary school located in Levin, New Zealand. The school opened in February 1973 as Levin's second secondary school, after Horowhenua College struggled to cope with 1200 students. Serving Years 9 to 13 (ages 13 to 18), the school has a roll of 523 students as of October 2025.
The original school buildings were built to the Education Department's S68 design: single-storey classroom blocks of cinderblock or masonry construction, with low-pitched roofs and internal open courtyards. The college is one of many that have problems with leaking roofs due to the S68's roof design. In 2014 the school opened a purpose-built teen parent unit. The building won an award in the 'education' category at the 2015 New Zealand Institute of Architects Awards. In 2016 a new special needs unit was opened.
