Saint Hilda's Collegiate School is a girls' secondary school in Dunedin, New Zealand. Founded as an Anglican school in 1896 by Bishop Samuel Tarratt Nevill and staffed by the Sisters of the Church, it is now integrated into the state school system. It has a roll of about 400 girls and is named after Saint Hilda, a 7th century English nun remembered for her piety and support of poets.
Occupying a site bounded by Cobden Street, Heriot Row and Royal Terrace, the original buildings have been demolished and the site redeveloped from the mid 20th century. Some of the new buildings were designed by Ted McCoy.
