The Colburn School is a historic school building at 136 Lawrence Street in Lowell, Massachusetts, USA.

Named for Warren Colburn, a superintendent of the Merrimack Manufacturing Company, the Greek Revival school was built in 1848. The style is typical of pre-war institutional construction in Lowell, such as Old City Hall, the Market House, and the original Varnum School.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.[1]
