Sir Oliver Mowat Collegiate Institute is a public high school located in Toronto, located in south east Scarborough. The school was built in 1969 and named for Sir Oliver Mowat, a Father of Confederation and former Ontario premier.

The school is located near the intersection of Port Union Road and Lawrence Avenue East.

The school mascot was originally named after the Queen's University Golden Gaels. The school has since adopted (via a 2002 student-led referendum) the "Mustangs" as its new school mascot and team name. The school's mascot is named "Monte". The school colours (derived from the Queen's Tricolour) have remained the same.
