St. Gregory's College, Lagos, is a Catholic Boys' School with boarding facilities, located 1.0 km from Tafawa Balewa Square in the vicinity of Ikoyi – Obalende, Lagos State, Nigeria.
History The college, originally a mixed-gender education campus before the creation of its sister school Holy Child College, Obalende, is based in South-West Ikoyi. It was established through the Catholic mission in 1928 and named after Pope Gregory the Great (540–604). Michael Ibru and his construction outfit, Ace Jomona, took part in the building of the school at that time.

Olufeko, built the college's first and most recognisable online presence using Web design in the year 1998, based on the need to assist alumni connect with each other globally. Subsequently, as the city of Lagos embraced the digital economy, alumni from different graduating sets and the school's administration eventually established an official website in 2018.
