The Lawrenceville School National Historic Landmark, known also as Lawrenceville School, is a 17.74 acre historic district on the campus of the Lawrenceville School, a private college preparatory school in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. This portion, the old campus area built in 1894-1895, was designed in a unique collaboration between the landscape designer Frederick Law Olmsted and the architects Peabody & Stearns. [ [http://www.nr.nps.gov/writeups/86000158.nl.pdf NPS Writeup] ] A new campus area, built in the 1920's, does not intrude and is not included in the district.

The district was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1986.citation|title=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/86000158.pdf National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: The Lawrenceville School] |32 KB|date=July, 1985 |author=Carolyn Pitts |publisher=National Park Service and PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Photos/86000158.pdf "Accompanying 20 photos, exteriors and interiors, from 1980 and undated"] |32 KB] It is included in the Lawrence Township Historic District, created in 1972.
