St Benedict's School, is an independent Roman Catholic day school based in Ealing, West London. The school is part of Ealing Abbey and is governed by the Abbot and monks of Ealing. The school was founded in 1902 by Fr Sebastian Cave, and is still the only Benedictine day school in England, the other Benedictine schools all taking boarding pupils.

Although St Benedict's offers mainly education for boys (from nursery to sixth form), girls are admitted in both the nursery and sixth form sections of the school. In June 2006, the Monastic Chapter voted to introduce co-education into the whole school from 2007 in the juniors, and 2008 in the seniors.

The school has many famous alumni (known as Old Priorians), including Chris Patten (now Lord Patten of Barnes), who serves as an Advisory Governor to the school and is himself Chancellor of the universities of Newcastle and Oxford. Other alumni include Christopher Caudwell, Andy Serkis, Denis O'Regan, Declan Donnellan, Peter Ackroyd, Labi Siffre and Julian Clary.

The school is renowned for its success in various fields, including rugby (winning the Under 15 Daily Mail Cup in 2005), cricket and music. The school also has a very good record in terms of Oxford entrances[citation needed].
