Ecole et Collège Saint-Mauront is a private Catholic primary and junior high school in the 3rd arrondissement, Marseille, France.
Initially its student body was majority ethnic French, Italians, and Portuguese in the period prior to 1938.
Beginning in the 1960s children from former colonies in sub-Saharan Africa enrolled.
