Gilman School, originally named The Country School for Boys, is a private school founded in 1897 and located in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Now, it is an all boys school (grades pre-first to 12).

The country School was founded in 1897. In 1910, The Country School moved to its current 68 acre (275,000 m²) campus in Roland Park and changed its name to The Gilman Country School for Boys. In 1951, the "Country" was dropped, and the School became Gilman School.

Gilman has had some recent success in football. In the 2005 season, Gilman was ranked 11th on USA Today's Super 25 high school football poll after going undefeated and winning their second consecutive MIAA "A" Conference Championship under Head Coach Biff Poggi. Since 1998 they have surrendered only one conference championship (2003) giving them seven of the last eight awarded.

Gilman is also recognized for their lacrosse program. Gilman has 14 conference titles in MIAA (Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association) (formerly the MSA) lacrosse competition.
