The School of Fine Arts (Polish: Szkoła Sztuk Pięknych w Warszawie ) was a university that was founded in Warsaw in 1844 and attached to the Warsaw Secondary School. It had three faculties: architecture, sculpture and painting. Her predecessor was the Faculty of Fine Arts 1816-1831 at Warsaw University .

After the school reform of Tsar Nicholas I in 1851, their educational program was limited to strictly subject subjects. When students attended the patriotic rallies around 1860 and the January uprising of 1863, the school was closed in 1864. A year later, in 1865, it was replaced by the Warsaw drawing class.

The School of Fine Arts was not reopened until 1904 and transformed into the Academy of Fine Arts Warsaw in 1932 .
