Kerrimuir Primary School is a state school in the area of Kerrimuir in the Melbourne suburb of Box Hill North in Victoria, Australia. The school is run and funded by the Victorian Government. The school is coeducational and has an attendance of around 270 in the year 2006.

The school's logo features a thistle, which was so designated in 1989 after Miriam Bell, a student of the school at the time, won an internal design competition amongst the students for an official logo for the school. The inspiration for the design came from the school's name, which is derived from Kirriemuir, Scotland. The thistle is one of Scotland's national emblems.

The school's colours were changed at the same time from bottle green to bottle green and red.
