The Samuel Ready Asylum for Female Orphans, later shortened to Samuel Ready School, was a girls' boarding school in Baltimore. It was founded in 1887, based on a plan by Samuel Ready (1789–1871), to serve orphan girls from age 6 to 15. From 1977 it admitted other girls of academic ability from poorer homes. The school closed in 1977.
