Anthony Gell School is a mixed secondary school and sixth form located in Wirksworth in the English county of Derbyshire.

It began as a Free Grammar School established by Anthony Gell in 1576. The school moved to its present site in 1908 and became a voluntary controlled school in 1944. It became a coeducational comprehensive school in 1965. As a voluntary controlled school, it is supported by the Anthony Gell School Foundation charitable trust, and administered by Derbyshire County Council.

Anthony Gell School offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils, while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A Levels, OCR Nationals and further BTECs. As of 2011 the school's GCSE scores were increasing.

As of 2011 the school has no school uniform policy. Headmaster David Baker continued the existing dress code policy after becoming headmaster circa 2006.
