Mark Oliphant College is a public school in the northern suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia. It teaches students from birth to Year 12 and is named after Sir Mark Oliphant.

Mark Oliphant College opened in the newly-developed area of Munno Para during 2011, after having used two of the former sites since the beginning of 2010.[3] It combined the students from the former Smithfield Plains High School, Smithfield Plains Primary School, Junior Primary and Kindergarten, all having been in the next suburb south, Smithfield Plains.[1]

The school buildings are arranged in a circle around a village green.[3]
