The Washington Irving Campus is a public school building located at 40 Irving Place between East 16th and 17th Streets in the Gramercy Park neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, near Union Square. Formerly the Washington Irving High School (until 2008), it now houses the Gramercy Arts High School, the High School for Language and Diplomacy (established 2009), the International High School at Union Square (established 2010), the Union Square Academy for Health Sciences (established 2012), and the Academy for Software Engineering (established 2012)—under the New York City Department of Education. One floor of the building houses the Success Academy Charter School.

The school is named after writer Washington Irving. The building in which the school is located was designed by the architect C.B.J. Snyder and built in 1913. The original building is eight stories high, though the extension on 16th Street designed by Walter C. Martin and built in 1938, is eleven stories high.
