St. Xavier Parish Commercial School, officially The Convent School, was a private secondary school in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Founded in 1904 by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, it remained open until 1960. It was associated with St. Francis Xavier Church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Fr. Francis J. Finn, S.J., served as its first director.[cite news|url=http://www.jesuits-chi.org/publications/Partners/partners_fall_2006/FA06%20Cincinnati.pdf|title=The Legacy of St. Francis Xavier Is Alive and Well in Cincinnati: St. Xavier High School|author=Karl Hauck|first=Karl|last=Hauck|coauthors=Mark D.

It offered "a two-year course of study—primarily for women—in the business arts", including "stenography, book-keeping, and typesetting". Boys from St. Xavier High School also took typing classes there; once the Commercial School closed, the high school moved to Finneytown and the parish remained at the downtown location.
Tuition was $50 a year during the 1950s.
