St Mary's Anglican Girls' School is an independent, Anglican, day and boarding school for girls, located in Karrinyup, a suburb north of Perth.

Established in 1921 at West Perth, St Mary's has a non-selective enrolment policy and currently caters for over 1350 students from Kindergarten to Year 12, including 166 boarders from Years 7 to 12.

St Mary's is affiliated with the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA), the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA), the Association of Independent Schools of Western Australia, the Australian Boarding Schools' Association (ABSA), the Alliance of Girls' Schools Australia (AGSA), and is a member of the Independent Girls' Schools Sports Association (IGSSA).

St Mary's brother school is Hale School, located in Wembley Downs.

St Mary's Anglican Girls' School was founded when two private girls' schools operating in West Perth amalgamated. The school opened on 14 September 1921, with the Reverend Charles Lawrence Riley as Acting Principal. Two other schools later joined them.

In 1964, a building appeal was launched to develop the present campus at Karrinyup. Under the guidance of the then Principal, Anne Symington (1965–1982), St Mary's operated in both West Perth and Karrinyup until 1970, when the whole school was finally situated in Karrinyup.

The St Mary's campus in Karrinyup is located on 40 acres of land.
