Tallinn Cathedral School (also Tallinn Knight and Cathedral School; Estonian: Tallinna Toomkool, German: Ritter- und Domschule zu Reval, Latin: Schola cathedralis Tallinnensis) is a school in Tallinn, Estonia.^[1]

First written records of the school date back to 1319. In 1684, the school was destroyed in the large fire in the Toompea area. The construction of a new school building was completed seven years larter, in 1691. Since 1765, the school was managed by Estonian Knighthood. The construction of the building at Toom-Kooli Street 11 where the school located nowadays, was completed in 1845. In 1892, the school was closed due to Russification. In 1906, the school was re-opened. In 1920, Estonian Knighthood was liquidated and the school was managed by the successor organization of knighthood (Estonian: Eestimaa Üldkasulik Ühing). School was closed during World War II in the context of Baltic German Umsiedlung.^[1]

Since 1965, the school building is used by Tallinn Ballet School.^[1]
