Weimar Saxon-Grand Ducal Art School (Grossherzoglich-Sächsische Kunstschule Weimar) was an art school set up by decree by Charles Alexander, Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach on 1 October 1860. It existed until 1910. That year it was promoted to a Kunsthochschule as the Großherzoglich Sächsische Hochschule für Bildende Kunst in Weimar. It is not to be confused with the Fürstlichen freien Zeichenschule (1776–1930), which from 1860 gave the preliminary teaching before admission to the art school.

“Now I want
Spirits to enforce, art to enchant,
And my ending is despair,
Unless I be relieved by prayer,
Which pierces so that it assaults
Mercy itself, and frees all faults.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
