San Pedro College is a private, Catholic, research, coeducational basic and higher education institution run by the Dominican Sisters of the Trinity in Davao City, Davao del Sur, Philippines. It was founded in 1956.

It began as a school of nursing of the San Pedro Hospital, the first Catholic hospital in Mindanao, which the religious sisters have been operating since their arrival in 1948. Now, it encompasses several allied health sciences, arts and sciences, education and business programs, in addition to the nursing course it first offered.

The college is broadly organized into seven undergraduate departments and one graduate division at its main (Guzman Street) campus, with each college and the graduate division defining its own admission standards and academic programs in near autonomy. The college also administers one satellite Basic Education Department campus at Ulas, Davao City. Of its seven undergraduate colleges, five offer degrees in the health sciences. These are the departments of Nursing, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy, Respiratory Therapy, and Medical Technology. SPC's graduate school offers two doctorate programs, one master in nursing program, and five master of arts programs.

Since its founding, San Pedro College has been a coed, Catholic institution where admission has not been restricted by gender, race, or religion (despite being a Catholic institution). The student body consists of nearly 7,000 undergraduate and 100 graduate students from all over the country, but majority comes from Mindanao particularly Davao City, where the school is located. Basic Education enrollees total to around 4,000.

In 2012, San Pedro College opened its Basic Education Campus at Ulas, Davao City, for school year 2012-2013.

In August 2016, San Pedro College adopted the North American academic calendar, with the school year beginning in mid-August and the second semester starting on a late January or early February. Academic years are expected to end at June.
