Walker–Grant School in Fredericksburg, Virginia, is a historic Art Deco structure completed in 1938 that served as the first publicly supported black high school in the city. Built through the efforts of Joseph Walker (born 1854) and Jason Grant (1861–1951), whose names it bears, the school represents an important milestone in the educational history of Fredericksburg's African American community. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in October 1998 and is recognized as a Virginia Historic Landmark.
