The Royal E. Robbins School is a historic school building at 58 Chestnut Street in Waltham, Massachusetts. The two story brick Georgian Revival building was built in 1901, during a period of rapid growth on the city's South Side. It is named for Royal E. Robbins, a major figure in the founding of the Waltham Watch Company, a major economic force in that area. It is now a community center.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
