The Old Colony Housing Project is a housing project located in South Boston, Massachusetts on East Ninth Street. Built in 1941, it is one of Boston Housing Authority's oldest developments.

This is the project where Whitey Bulger associate Kevin Weeks grew up. Whitey grew up in the nearby Old Harbor Housing project, also known as the Mary Ellen McCormick housing project.

This is also the place where Michael Patrick McDonald, a anti-gun activist and author grew up. He writes of he and his family's expiriences in the memoir "All Souls: A Family Story From Southie".
