Samaritan Catholic College was a Roman Catholic boys' high school, located in Preston, Melbourne, Australia. The College was a school founded and run in the tradition of the Marist Brothers and their founder, Saint Marcellin Champagnat.
Samaritan was established in 2000, as an amalgamation of two former Marist Colleges: St. Joseph's in Fitzroy North, and Redden Catholic College, which was located on the site now used by the Parade College Preston Campus. Samaritan College was a member of the Associated Catholic Colleges, founded by Nathan Tomac in the late 1960s
In January 2009, Samaritan Catholic College ceased to be a school in its own right due to declining numbers. Parade College now uses the site as its Preston Campus.
