École des beaux-arts de Montréal (The School of Fine Arts in Montreal, "EBAM") was an educational institution founded in Quebec in 1922. The Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society was instrumental in its creation.
Faculty of the school included Edwin Holgate; alumni include Armand Vaillancourt, Paul-Émile Borduas, Pierre Granche, Kate McGarrigle, and Guido Molinari.
The 1922 building that hosted the school was built according to plans by the Montreal architect Jean-Omer Marchand, located at 3450 Saint Urbain Street (at Sherbrooke Street) in Montreal. It now houses the Office québécois de la langue française.
In 1969, the school was incorporated into the Family of the Arts of the University of Quebec at Montreal.
