Collège catholique Samuel-Genest (CCSG) is a French Catholic school for students in grades 7–12 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It is part of the Conseil des écoles catholiques du Centre-Est (CECCE) and is located at 704 Carsons Road in the Vanier/Gloucester area. The motto is “À la poursuite de l’excellence” (In Pursuit of Excellence). CCSG is known for its science programs and offers a Concentration Scientifique, the main science track for high school students. In 2004, CCSG joined with Pauline-Vanier and Vision Jeunesse junior high schools to create a combined junior high and high school.

A school uniform is required. In 2006–2007, CCSG added Sam’Artiste (arts) and Sam’Sportif (sports) programs for grades 7–8, along with Sam’Enrichit for enriched coursework; these programs may expand to higher grades. There is also a Pré-Concentration Scientifique for 7th–8th graders as a precursor to the Concentration Scientifique. The school colors are green, white, and blue; the mascot is Sammy the frog, and the teams are called Les Laser de Samuel-Genest. The principal is Julie Azzi and the administrator is Sylvie Plouffe.
