The Quellinusschool or Kunstnijverheidsschool Quellinus, was a school for sculptors in Amsterdam named after the Quellinus family of sculptors, founded in 1877.
It was founded as the Teekenschool voor Kunstambachten (Drawing school for art crafts) by Pierre Cuypers and Eduard Colinet in the workshop of the Rijksmuseum during the building of that institution, which itself contains several large sculptures and was intended to rival the Royal Palace of Amsterdam, which itself is full of works by the Quellinus family. The name was changed after the opening of the museum in 1885 to Kunstnijverheidsschool Quellinus, or simply Quellinusschool. In 1924 it merged with the Gerrit Rietveld Academie.
Currently Royal Dutch Antiquarian Society has an office in the school
