The John Warner School is a secondary school for 11-18 year olds in Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire, England. It is located on Stanstead road opposite the 100 Acre Estate and is backed by the New River.

Although established in 1953, it adopted the name John Warner in 1968, after the man who established the first all boys school for all classes and any religious beliefs in 1841.

The school has many facilities including its sport centre, (comprising of a swimming pool, several astro-turf pitches, sports hall and many other facilities), which is available for use by all students of the school, and also a newly built science block which was added in 2005, that aided the school in gaining the status of a Science College. Many local primary schools in the area have science lessons in the school's new laboratories. Also the school has specialist technology status.

The head teacher of the school is David Kennedy.

The school is regually at war with Sheredes School by the means of paper balls and ciggerette burns.
