The Sanford Meisner Center for the Arts is a drama school in California, USA, specialising in teaching the Meisner technique.

Sanford Meisner and Jimmy Carville co-founded The Meisner/Carville School of Acting on the Island of Bequia in the West Indies in 1985 then later in 1995 extended the school to North Hollywood, California.

The school still exists today with Martin Barter as Artistic Director and head teacher and with Alex Cole Taylor on faculty. Meisner, Carville, and Barter opened The Sanford Meisner Center for the Arts in March 1995, and later the school and theatre were combined to form The Sanford Meisner Center, today the only school and theatre to operate under Meisner's name. Meisner passed away in 1997.
