Rosmini College is a Year 7-13 (Form 1-7) Catholic School situated in the Takapuna area of Auckland's North Shore in New Zealand, adjacent to St. Joseph's Parish and Primary School. The school was named after Antonio Rosmini, founder of the Institute of Charity. The school's motto is Legis Charitas Plenitudo, translated as 'Charity Fulfills the Law'. Currently, the school's roll sits just under 1,000 students, from various cultural backgrounds. The school was founded in 1961 by Father Catcheside.

The school's enrolment policy favours boys from Catholic Primary Schools, although students of other denominations fill the remaining roll space. The school's curriculum mainly mirrors that of state schools, except for the addition of Religious Education and its associated Retreats and Masses. Prayers are a part of daily school life at Rosmini. The school's buildings include a large auditorium, purpose-built music, technology and science blocks, a large main block (containing classrooms, computer labs, the main office and the library), and several prefabs. The school also has a gymnasium and extensive sports fields.

Rosmini College's sister school Carmel College is situated nearby. Each year Rosmini College staff select two Head Boys (currently Samuel Page and Liam Thornley) and two Deputy Head Boys. Also two young men are selected to be the schools Sports Captains each year.
