The Diplomatic School of Spain (Escuela Diplomática in Spanish) is an official institution dependent on the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation. It was constituted in 1942 and is located in Madrid.

Its main mission is training new Spanish diplomats as civil servants. It also focuses on the training of officials serving abroad and those aspiring to a career in international civil service, among other functions. The Diplomatic School of Spain is also a prestigious academic institution in the fields of diplomacy, international law and international relations.

Admission to the Masters degree programme is based on a competitive exam which assesses the candidates knowledge of international relations. There is no fixed syllabus for this exam rather the questions are based on international affairs at the date of the exam.
