The British School - Muscat is a school in Muscat, Oman, catering primarily for the British expatriate community, but containing many students of many different nationalities.

It is a primary school, a secondary school and a college, providing a British education (GCSE's, A-levels etc) to its pupils. It is one of several such "Western Schools" in Muscat, including the American British Academy (ABA) and The American International School Muscat (TAISM).

Formerly known as the Muscat English Speaking School (MESS), the school was known in the 1980s to cater quite differently to the British students to those from former colonies. In a 1986 visit of Prince Charles and Princess Diana to Oman, where students of the British school were invited to greet the royals, all foreign students were instructed to stay at home.
