King's Ely, which was renamed from The King's School in March 2012, is a coeducational independent day and boarding school in the cathedral city of Ely, Cambridgeshire, England. It was founded in 970 A.D., making it one of the oldest schools in the world, though it was given its Royal Charter by King Henry VIII in 1541. The school consists of a nursery, a reception class, junior school, senior school, and an international school. It is a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference.

The school has produced a number of notable alumni, including Edward the Confessor, King of England,Lord Browne of Madingley, erstwhile chairman of British Petroleum and James Bowman, countertenor.

The senior school was ranked the 162nd independent school for GCSE results and 210th for A Level results in 2014 (see §Curriculum).
