L'école de Gresham (en anglais Gresham's School), est une école historique et prestigieuse en Angleterre. Elle est située à Holt, Norfolk, près de la mer du Nord.

L'école accueille environ 730 élèves âgés de huit à dix-huit ans. Il s'agit d'un internat, mixte depuis 1973. Elle est l'une des écoles les plus chères de Grande-Bretagne: le prix complet pour une année scolaire est d'environ 21 000 livres sterling, ou 30 000 euros. Environ dix pour cent des élèves (y inclus les Holt Scholars) reçoivent une espèce d'aide financière.

Gresham's est connue pour la haute qualité de son enseignement.
