Canisius College (Indonesian: Kolese Kanisius) is a private Catholic secondary school for boys, located in Menteng, Central Jakarta, Java, Indonesia.

The motto of the school is Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam, Latin for "For the Greater Glory of God".

On 1 June 1927, the first class of AMS (Algemene Middelbare School) was started in a plot of land at Mentengweg.

This proposal met a resistance, due to the fact of the lack of schoolbooks in Indonesian language.

As a private school, Canisius follows the Indonesia curriculum KTSP (Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan).
