Ipswich Girls' Grammar School (IGGS) is an independent, non-denominational, day and boarding school for girls in Ipswich, Queensland, Australia.

The school is one of the eight original 'Queensland Grammar Schools'. These schools are independent, non-denominational, not-for-profit statutory bodies of the Queensland Government.[1] They are not linked to, administered, or governed by any religious organisation or specific style of education.

Both boys and girls are taught until year 6 at Ipswich Junior Grammar School, situated on the Girls' School campus. Years 7 and above are girls only.[2] The boarding school starts in year 5.[3]

The school is a member of the Queensland Girls' Secondary Schools Sports Association (QGSSSA).

Some Ipswich Girls' Grammar School Buildings are listed on the Queensland Heritage Register.[4]
