The Brearley School is an all-girls private school in New York City, located in the Upper East Side neighborhood of Manhattan. The school is divided into lower (kindergarten–grade 4), middle (grades 5–8) and upper (grades 9–12) schools, with approximately 50 to 65 students per grade. Starting in 2025, students with household incomes of $100,000 or below attend Brearley for free.

In addition to being a member of the New York Interschool Association, Brearley is considered a sister school of the all-boys Collegiate School and the nearby all-girls Chapin School, with which it shares an after-school program and some classes.
