Calvert Elementary School is one of 36 public primary schools in the Lincoln Public Schools school district of Lincoln, Nebraska, USA. It contains a computer lab, band room, gymnasium, library, and cafeteria (which doubles as an intramural event center). The recess area outside includes two basketball courts and a large, raised field.

Calvert was once called College View Elementary School, because it is located in Lincoln's College View neighborhood.

Calvert feeds into Pound Middle School.
