Schmidt's Girls College (SGC; German: Schmidt-Schule Jerusalem, Arabic: كلية شميدت‎‎) is a Christian girls' school, located in East Jerusalem. It includes a grundschule (primary school) programme, as well as the German International Abitur (Deutsche Internationale Abiturprüfung, DIAP) programme. It also offers a Tawjihi programme.

It is a German international school. The school takes its name from the Lazarist Friedrich Wilhelm Schmidt (1833-1907), heading and developing the school between 1890 and his fatal accident.

It was founded in 1886 in the Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem, Ottoman Empire as Schmidt's Girls' School. At the time it was a Catholic institution. It later became known as Schmidt's College. The school's area became a part of the British Mandate of Palestine before becoming a part of Jordanian-annexed (1948) and later Israel-controlled (1967) East Jerusalem.
