Annunciation School is a historic parochial school building located at Buffalo in Erie County, New York. It was built in 1928 and is an I-shaped brick structure representative of standardized, modestly sized school buildings of the period. It was operated by the Sisters of St. Mary of Namur. The school was closed as a parish school in 1988. It was home to the Catholic Academy of West Buffalo until 2005 and was converted to apartments in 2009–2010.[2][3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.[1]
