Vince malum bono
Vince malum bono or Vince in bono malum is a Latin phrase meaning Overcome evil with good or Defeat Evil with Good.

The phrase is used as a motto at a number of institutions:
- Anahuac Universities Network
- Bishop Cotton School, Shimla
- Old Swinford Hospital
- St. Paul's Senior High School, Denu, Ghana (formerly St. Paul's Secondary School)
