Holy Cross School (Papatoetoe) is a Primary School (years 1-6) in Papatoetoe, a suburb of Manukau City, Auckland Region, New Zealand.

The school commenced in 1953 as a Catholic parish school, and was run by three Sisters of Mercy, Sisters Helena, Helen and Paulinus. The initial roll of 139 pupils already filled the school to its planned capacity but numbers continued to rise.
