Fort Bragg Unified School District, a public school district in Mendocino County, oversees public primary and secondary education in Fort Bragg, California and the surrounding area, accountable to both the local voters and the California Department of Education. It was organized in 1895, shortly before the town formally incorporated, for the families of the fast-growing number of men moving to the area to work for Union Lumber Company or one of the other local lumber mills during the logging boom of the late 19th century.

Most students are served by the district's two secondary schools, two primary schools and transitional kindergarten, none of which have overlapping grade offerings. To serve students with special circumstances it also operates two community day schools (each mirroring the grade offerings of one of the secondary schools), a continuation school and an adult school, as well as exercising oversight and standards compliance functions for one all grades charter school.

In addition to Fort Bragg, the district's boundary includes Cleone.
