The Royal Conservatoire Antwerp (Dutch: Koninklijk Conservatorium Antwerpen) is a conservatory of music, dance and drama in Antwerp, Belgium. It was founded in 1898 as the Royal Flemish Conservatoire by the Flemish composer Peter Benoit.

The legislation on university colleges in Flanders in 1995 led to a merger under the wings of the newly formed Antwerp University College (Hogeschool Antwerpen) with the drama programme of the previous autonomous Studio Herman Teirlinck and the dance programme of the Higher Institute for Dance Education. In 2008, the university college assumed the name Artesis. Since October 2013, the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp is a School of Arts of the Artesis Plantijn University College of Antwerp, a merger between the Artesis University College Antwerp and the Plantijn University College.

The Royal Conservatoire has a music programme (bachelor's and master's in classical music and jazz), a drama programme (bachelor's and master's), a dance programme (bachelor's and master's) and a teaching qualification programme.[1][2][3][4]
