Clifton House School was a private boys' preparatory school which operated in Harrogate, North Riding of Yorkshire, England, between 1898 and 1968. It was founded in Clifton House in Queens Parade, thus acquiring the name of Clifton College, then Clifton House School. It kept that name until its last years when it became Clifton House Preparatory School. In 1909 the school established the first scout pack in Harrogate.
The school had some notable staff and pupils; Harold Styan was its sports teacher for some years, while its alumni include jewellery historian Jack Ogden and Major General Michael Walsh. In its heyday the school was in a prime position, facing Harrogate's Stray; its place is now taken by a block of flats.
