The Claire Trevor School of the Arts is a fine arts school at the University of California, Irvine in Irvine, CA. The four departments housed in the school consist of dance, drama, music, and studio art. The school has both an undergraduate program as well as a masters program. It was named in honour of the Academy Award winning Hollywood actress Claire Trevor. The school represents the largest contribution to the campus by architect William Pereira, who oversaw its construction in 1970. It features a distinctive "modular" design in which individual buildings are connected by an overhead network of pillar-supported canopies. In 2005, the school's landscape was redesigned by Maya Lin in a retro-futuristic style, featuring an outdoor theater, fountains, decorative LED lighting and landscaping with native grasses and wildflowers.

Early professors in the school included Mehta Mehta (father of Rubin Mehta); choral master, Eugene Loring; dance master with James Penrod as an assistant. Frank Stella, Henry Clay, Tony DeLap and John MacCracken; who were art instructors. Robert Cohen organized the undergraduate repertory company that took Oedipus Rex on the road to UC San Diego and UC Santa Cruz. Early productions included "The Assassination of Jean Paul Marat by the Marquis de Sade", "Little Mary Sunshine", "Night of the Iguana" and "Midsummer Night's Dream".
