The Fort Myers Beach School (also known as the Fort Myers Beach Elementary School or simply Beach School) is a historic school in Fort Myers Beach, Florida. It is located at 2751 Oak Street. On July 8, 1999, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

This property is part of the Lee County Multiple Property Submission, a Multiple Property Submission to the National Register.

On September 28, 2022 the school was largely destroyed by Hurricane Ian, though the district had expressed interest in trying to save at least part of the structure. In 2023, more recently constructed buildings that were not considered historic and were heavily damaged by Hurricane Ian were demolished and the original historic structure is being renovated. It has been rebuilt and opened on December 6th 2023.
