Shrewsbury House is an independent day preparatory school for boys aged 7 to 13, in Surbiton, Surrey, England. Established in 1865 it is one of England's oldest boys' Preparatory Schools.

Boys at Shrewsbury House consistently achieve excellent results at 13+ and gain entry to some of England's most prestigious public schools.

It has been an educational trust since 1979. It is administered by a Board of Governors. All of the Governors, except two of the educationalists and the medical expert, are former parents.

Since 2010 the Headmaster has been Mr. Kevin Doble.
