Marcellin College is a Catholic secondary boys' college in Bulleen, Victoria, Australia.
The school was founded in 1950 by the Marist Brothers originally in Canterbury Road, Camberwell, Victoria. A senior school campus was opened in Bulleen for years 9 to 12 with the Canterbury campus catering for years 4 to 8. With the school population growing the Junior School in Camberwell stopped accepting students in grades 4, 5 and 6 and took only Years 7 and 8. The college consolidated its campuses in 1993 and the Junior School was closed.
The college is a member of the Associated Grammar Schools of Victoria and the Association of Marist Schools of Australia. It comes under the north eastern region of Catholic Education Melbourne.
