Clayfield College is an independent, Uniting Church and Presbyterian, coeducationalday and boarding school, located in Clayfield, an inner-northern suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The College is owned and governed by the Presbyterian and Methodist Schools Association.

Founded in 1931, the College has a non-selective enrolment policy and caters for approximately 500 students from Pre-Prep to Year 12,^[2] including boarders from Years 5 to 12.
