Ferryden Park Primary School was a primary school in the Adelaide inner north west suburb of Ferryden Park.

In 1959 the student enrolment at the school peaked at 639 students, due in part to the post-war boom of the 1950s.

Ferryden Park Primary School closed at the end of 2010. It merged with four similar schools of the area to form a new school to be called Woodville Gardens School and based at the old Ridley Grove Primary School.[2] The merger occurred as part of the Education Works New Schools Project of the Department of Education and Children's Services.[3] The school's lands were earmarked for a new housing development.[4]
