De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB, CSB or simply Benilde), is a private Catholic college and member institution of De La Salle Philippines located in the vicinity of Malate, located along Taft Avenue across the street from De La Salle University-Manila. It was established in 1980 during the administration of Br. Andrew Gonzalez FSC as the College of Career Development, a night school for working students at De La Salle University-Manila. It was named after Saint Benilde Romançon, a Christian Brother who was an exemplary educator and catechist who taught in France during the 1800s.

In 1985, it was renamed as Community College and was then renamed as the De La Salle University-College of Saint Benilde in 1988, one year after the establishment of the De La Salle University System. In 1994, the college became autonomous, and in 2004, along with a restated vision and mission, the college was renamed to its present name, dropping the University from its name and became De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde.

Originally located at the Miguel Hall (formerly the Benilde Hall) of De La Salle University-Manila, the college was transferred to its own campus at 2544 Taft Avenue in 1989. At present, the college has three campuses, the Taft Campus along Taft Avenue, the Angelo King International Center Campus located at Arellano Avenue, and the School of Design and Arts Campus at Pablo Ocampo Street.

The college uses learner-centered instruction and offers innovative degree and non-degree programs designed for the development of professionals in the arts, design, management, service industries, computer applications in business, and special fields in study. The college has also pioneered several degree offerings different from what regular universities and colleges in the Philippines had.[2]

The college is the youngest member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association when it was accepted into the league in 1998, along with La Salle Green Hills representing the junior division.
