Old Central School was a school on Wimbledon Common, south-west London, founded in 1758. It closed in the early 1960s when its role was taken over by Bishop Gilpin School, a new school on a different site in Wimbledon.
The original octagonal school building in Camp Road, built in 1758, was still standing in 2012 and in use as part of a private school, The Study.

“My solitaria
Are the meditations of a central mind.
I hear the motions of the spirit and the sound
Of what is secret becomes, for me, a voice
That is my own voice speaking in my ear.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
