Gawler Primary School is a state school in South Australia opened in January 1878. It is located on the edge of the historic Church Hill State Heritage Area of Gawler. The Gothic-styled bluestone main building and the original headmaster's residence (added in 1881) are listed on the Register of the National Estate.

Opened as the Gawler Public School, it was built by William Tardiff to the design of architect E. J. Wood at a cost of 4,695 pounds and could accommodate 600 pupils. The first headmaster was E. L. Burton who had been headmaster of St. George's Church of England Day School.[1]
