Avele College is a secondary school in Vailima, a suburb of Apia in Samoa.
The school was founded in 1924 as a residential secondary school, and officially opened on 12 June 1924 by Administrator of Western Samoa George Spafford Richardson. In 1957 it was converted to a regional post-primary agricultural college, intended to serve students from across the South Pacific. The school was originally boys-only, and female students were not admitted until 1996.
In 2010 the school's library was destroyed by a fire.
In May 2016 the school was closed for two weeks and threatened with permanent closure after a series of brawls with students of rival Malua Fou College which saw 22 students charged.
The school celebrated its centenary in June 2024.
