The Music and Ballet School of Baghdad (Arabic: مدرسة بغداد للموسيقى و الباليه) was founded in Baghdad, Iraq in 1970. It was initially opened as part of secularist cultural campaign. There are also claims that the school was founded in 1968 and 1969.

In March 2016, the Associated Press reported that the school was facing financial difficulties owing to the government's budgetary crisis. According to the report, the Ministry of Culture had ordered the school to begin charging tuition.
