J. H. Putman Public School is small, dual track middle school located in the west end of Ottawa, Ontario.

This school offers students a choice of English (with Core French) and Early French / French immersion programs as well as instrumental music and art programs.

J. H. Putman was officially opened on October 19, 1961 by His Excellency, Major-General Georges Vanier, Governor-General of Canada. The school is named after the Chief Inspector of Ottawa Public Schools, the late Dr. J. H. Putman, whose recommendations led to the introduction of intermediate schools in Ottawa in 1929.

J.H. Putman has an enrollment of approximately 250 students in grades 6-8, drawing students mainly from Agincourt and Woodroffe Avenue Public Schools. Students come from varied ethnic backgrounds and many speak a third language.

Graduating grade 8 students attend a number of high schools including Woodroofe High School, Nepean High School, Glebe Collegiate Institute, Sir Guy Carleton Secondary School and Canterbury High School.
