Szkoła Rycerska (English: The Knight's School) — full name: Akademia Szlachecka Korpusu Kadetów (English: The Noble Academy of the Cadet Corps) was the first state school in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, established in 1765 in Warsaw by King Stanisław August Poniatowski. The school's commandant was Prince Adam Kazimierz Czartoryski. It was closed in 1794 following the suppression of the Kościuszko Uprising.
