The Collège Sainte-Barbe (French pronunciation: [kɔlɛʒ sɛ̃t baʁb]) is a former college in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, France.
The Collège Sainte-Barbe was founded in 1460 on Montagne Sainte-Geneviève (Latin Quarter, Paris). It was until its closure in June 1999 the "oldest" identified college of Paris.
