Fanling Public School (粉嶺公立學校) is a primary school in Fanling, North District, New Territories, Hong Kong. It is in Fanling Village (or Fanling Wai) and near to the MTR train station.
The school was founded about 50 years ago. Before that, being known as the "Sze Tak Study Hall" (思德書室), it used to be a traditional private school for the Pang's family in the village. The school is intended to service the children of Fanling Village only, although it has extended to all children living in North District now. The current campus, of a size of 12,000 square metres, is just next to the old campus, which has become a historical place. The comfortable, tranquil, and beautiful campus is an ideal learning environment for the students.
The current principal of the school is Mr Li Shui Bor (李穗波先生).
