American School of Tangier (AST; Arabic: المدرسة الأمریکیة بطنجة) is an American international school in Tangier, Morocco, serving preschool through grade 12. In Morocco it is considered a non-profit organization, and AST is incorporated in the U.S. state of Delaware as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

The American School of Tangier was founded in 1950 by a group of American, Moroccan and citizens of other nationalities that wanted an American system of education in Tangier. Among its early directors was Dr. Robert Smith Shea who served from 1953-1960., when the city was a part of the Tangier International Zone. Joseph McPhillips III served as the headmaster of AST for 35 years.
