Hunterhouse College is a cross community all girls grammar school based in Finaghy, Belfast, Northern Ireland. It was formed from the amalgamation of two local schools – Ashleigh House School and Princess Gardens School.
As the headmistresses from both schools had the surname "Hunter" at the time of the merger, and an original headmistress was Anna Hunter, the combined school took the name "Hunterhouse College".
Hunterhouse now has its first ever "headmaster": the Principal since September 2008 is Mr Andrew Gibson, previously Vice-Principal at Grosvenor Grammar.
