The Camden School for Girls or CSG is a comprehensive secondary school for girls, with a coeducational sixth form, in the London Borough of Camden in North London. Founded in 1871 by the suffragette Frances Mary Buss, who also founded North London Collegiate School, CSG was one of the first girls' schools in England. It has about one thousand students of ages eleven to eighteen.

The 1999 Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted) report called it "a unique and very effective school in many ways". The most recent Ofsted report, written during March 2005, said CSG was "a very good school with excellent features".

The school has been awarded specialist status as a Music College.
