The Academic Gymnasium Danzig (Template:Lang-de) was a school founded in the state of Poland, Danzig Gdańsk that operated from 13 June 1558 to 1817. It was one of the most developed educational centers in Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. It also was the site of Collegium Medicum-one of the first assocations of doctors in Polish territories. For most of its existence it had a character similar to that of a university. After Partitions of Poland when the city was taken over by Prussia its name was Städtisches Gymnasium Danzig, in contrast to the (royal) Königliches Gymnasium. It was founded by Johann Hoppe (1512-1565), who had previously worked at schools in Chełmno(Culm) and Elbląg(Elbing) until Catholic bishop Stanislaus Hosius closed them.

With many cities in the Polish province of Royal Prussia becoming Lutheran,its citizens started to seek Lutheran education. The University of Königsberg in neighbouring state of Ducal Prussia, founded in 1544, wasn't big enough to educate all the new protestant clerics and administrators needed for the newly Luteran state in addition to arivals from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth , so local Latin schools in the Commonwealth were upgraded. The future home of the Gymnasium would be be the former Franciscan monastery turned into a school. In 1539, a Schola Dantiscana progam was started by Andreas Aurifaber. In 1558 Johann Hoppe founded a humanistic gymnasium that would become the Academic Gymnasium Danzig. Achatius Curaeus (1531-1594), from the University of Wittenberg, was made the first rector, but due to the theological conflicts between Gnesio-Lutherans and Philippists, he soon left.

In 1580, the school received the title Academic Gymnasium. Along with similar schools in Elbing and ] Toruń, the gymnasium transformed the province of Royal Prussia into a center of classical studies in the 16th century.

People connected with it are, among others, Bartholomäus Keckermann, Johannes Hevelius, Andreas Gryphius, Christian Hoffmann von Hoffmannswaldau, Peter Crüger, Abraham Calov, Michael Christoph Hanow, Gottfried Lengnich, Hugo Münsterberg, Karl Friedrich Schinkel.
