Templeogue College C.S.Sp is an all-boys Irish voluntary secondary school in the suburb of Templeogue, Dublin, Republic of Ireland. It was founded in 1966 and is run by the Holy Ghost Fathers, a Roman Catholic religious institute. The school's principal is Niamh Quinn and the motto of the school is Latin: in virtute scientia, which translates to 'education rooted in values'. There are 700 pupils and 50 teachers at the school, as of 2020.[2]

The school participates in sports including rugby union, basketball, football, athletics, and badminton.[3]

The school's rugby team, whose colours are red and blue, has reached the final of the Leinster Schools Junior Cup twice, in 1980 and in 1985.[4] In the 1980 final, the school lost 0-4 to Blackrock College of Dublin and, in the 1985 final, the school lost 0-14 to Presentation College of Bray, County Wicklow.

In 2002, a Templeogue College rugby team visited South Africa, the first state school in Ireland to do so. [5] In 2003, the school won the Leinster Schools Rugby Senior League. Also in rugby, the school has won a number of McMullen Shield competitions.[4]

The only way the school can be directly accessed by public transport is via the 54A bus.
