The Athenaeum of Ohio - Mount St. Mary's Seminary of the West is the third oldest Roman Catholic seminary in the United States and is currently located at 6616 Beechmont Avenue in the Cincinnati, Ohio neighborhood of Mt. Washington, in the former Saint Gregory Seminary buildings.

It was established by Bishop Edward D. Fenwick, the first bishop of Cincinnati, when he established St. Francis Xavier Seminary and the Athenaeum College on May 18, 1829. The seminary was renamed in 1851 Mount St. Mary's of the West to avoid confusion with the original school name. St. Francis Xavier Seminary, which grew also to encompass a growing Cincinnati-based Jesuit college, today's Xavier University. Mt. Saint Mary's moved to the St. Gregory location in the late twentieth century, abandoning the original site in Norwood, which is now home to the Holy Spirit Center.
