The Institut Culturel Franco-Japonais – École Japonaise de Paris ("French-Japanese Cultural Institute - Japanese School of Paris" - Japanese: 日仏文化学院パリ日本人学校 Nichifutsu Bunka Gakuin Pari Nihonjin Gakkō) is a Japanese international school located in Montigny-le-Bretonneux, Île-de-France, France, in the Paris metropolitan Area. The school is located in proximity to Versailles. Japanese is the primary language of instruction while students also take French classes.

The school serves ages 6 through 15. Marie Conte-Holm, author of The Japanese and Europe, wrote that the bus route to and from the school "essentially determines" where Japanese families with children settle in Greater Paris. She also wrote that "While some Japanese children attend local schools for a proportion of their time in France, even the more internationally minded Japanese parents will transfer their offspring to the Japanese School for reorientation during the latter part of their stay."

As of 2020 the school is led by Principal Onoe (小野江 校長).
