King's school, Bruton is an independent HMC co-educational boarding and day school in the English public school tradition located in Bruton, Somerset, England. It was founded in 1519 by Richard FitzJames, and has been in continuous operation for over 470 years. In 1550 the school received royal foundation status during the reign of Edward VI.

King's School was officially founded on September 29 1519 by Richard Fitzjames, Bishop of London; Sir John Fitzjames, the Attorney General; and the Abbott of Bruton Monastery, William Gilbert.

After the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the school was re-founded by a Royal Charter from King Edward VI. A board of governors was set up, making it the first school board in England and a model for all schools to come.

Old House was the original school building, later New House was built as an extension for school rooms and Old House was the headmaster's house. Blackford and Lyon were built and were funded by beneficiaries such as Lord Blackford and James Lyon. The school honoured the Old Brutonians who died in the Great War by laying the foundation stone for a new School Hall on Corpus Christi Day in 1919, and what became known as Memorial Hall was officially opened in 1924.

King's School Bruton once owned a copy of Magna Carta dating from 1297, which it sold to the Australian Government in 1952 for £12,500.

Girls have attended the school's sixth form since the 1960s before King's became fully co-educational in the late 1990s. It has six houses: Wellesley, Priory and Arion for girls, with New, Blackford and Lyon making up the boys' houses.

In September 1999, the Hobhouse Science centre was opened with a fully equipped observatory. The school has a purpose-built theatre, sports hall, fitness suite, sports surfaces for rugby, netball, tennis and cricket as well as two all-weather astro-turfs for hockey.

The Basil Wright Building was opened in 2009 and houses the Headmaster's, Bursar's and Registrar's offices.
