General Gordon Elementary School in Vancouver, British Columbia, is an elementary school. The school opened in 1912. It was named for British General Charles George Gordon who was killed at Khartoum in January 1885.

It is located at 2896 West 6th Avenue, at the intersection with Macdonald Street in Kitsilano. As of 2008, the school principal is Margaret Davidson and the vice-principal is Noreen Morris. It offers a late-start French Immersion program for sixth and seventh grade students.

In September 2008, General Gordon was selected as one of three schools in a pilot provincially-supported "Neighbourhoods of Learning" program [http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/story.html?id=357b22e7-0644-4233-9a36-81dc65e3b3a2] . The program was announced by premier Gordon Campbell at a news conference held at Queen Mary Elementary School on September 3, 2008. The program includes $30 million in funding to put "education and community services ... in a single neighbourhood hub" [http://www2.news.gov.bc.ca/news_releases_2005-2009/2008OTP0216-001326.htm] .
