The Stamps School of Art & Design, officially the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design (A&D) is the school of art and design at the University of Michigan located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The school offers graduate and undergraduate degrees in art and design.

Established as an independent unit in 1974, A&D is one of 19 schools and colleges at the University of Michigan. It is fully accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD). The Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design's academic programs and projects focus on generating new creative work, integrating the cultures of art and design, and engaging with the University, region, and national and international communities. In 2012, it was named for Penny and E. Roe Stamps in honor of their longtime support of the school, which included a $32.5 million gift in September 2012.

The Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design offers summer programs for middle school and high school students. Included in the A&D offerings are BFA Prep and Portfolio Prep residential programs for high school students, Summer Portfolio Day for students who have completed their junior year of high school, and a week-long Day Camp for regional middle school students.

The Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design employs over 40 full-time faculty. Fifteen of the full-time faculty hold dual appointments in the School and another discipline at the University. Another 15 faculty, based in University disciplines outside of Art & Design, are jointly appointed in the School. David Chung (artist) serves as the director for the MFA program. Four of the School's current professors, Phoebe Gloeckner, and Holly Hughes, Heidi Kumao, Endi E. Poskovic are recipients of the Guggenheim Fellowship. In 2010, Associate Professor Rebekah Modrak published Reframing Photography, a pioneering textbook in photographic education.
