St. John Cantius School is a high school in Poznań, Poland named after the scholar and theologian St. John Cantius.

It was founded in 1920 by Gotthilf Berger, Edward Raczyński and Hipolit Cegielski, in place of the German-language high school previously known as Friedrich Wilhelm Gymnasium, in honor of Frederick III.
