The ʿUthmāniyya Madrasa (Arabic: المدرسة العثمانية al-Madrasa al-ʿUthmāniyya) is a historic school in Jerusalem. It is by the western esplanade of the al-Aqsa Compound. It was established in 1436,[1] then became an Ottoman imperial provincial madrasa.[2]

It is among the few Jerusalem madrasas with a woman endower, the others were the Khātūniyya Madrasa and the little-known Barudiyya.[3]
