St Patrick's Grammar School (Irish: Scoil Ghramadaí Naomh Pádraig), Armagh, is a Roman Catholic boys' voluntary school in the city of Armagh, Northern Ireland. The present-day school was officially opened on Thursday, 27 October, 1988, by the late Cardinal Tomás Ó Fiaich, the then Chairman of the Board of Governors, and was the result of the amalgamation of two of Northern Ireland's oldest grammar schools, Christian Brothers' Grammar School and St. Patrick's College, both of which had traditions stretching back as far as the 1830s.
The school expanded further in 2014-2015 with the closure of St. Brigid's High School. The school moved away from academic selection with immediate effect, the last Catholic grammar school in the Armagh and Craigavon area to abandon academic selection, after St Michael's Grammar School, Lurgan ended academic selection with their amalgamation with two other schools in Lurgan.
Enrollment at St. Patrick's was expanded to 1250 to facilitate the closure and a £3 million site renovations began in October 2015 to enhance facilities. Construction concluded in June 2017. St Patrick's is to undergo further expansion as part of the School Enhancement Programme.
