{{Coord|54.599|-5.946|display=title|region:GB_scale:5000}}St Finian's Primary School (1901 - 1989) (Irish: Bunscoil Naomh Fionán) was a Roman Catholic primary school located in the Falls Road area of West Belfast near Dunville Park. It was run by the De La Salle Christian Brothers.^[1]

Due to falling student numbers the school closed in the 1980s.

Since 2004 the building has been occupied by the Irish-language primary school Gaelscoil an Lonnáin. However, the board of governors have proposed that it relocate to the former site of St Comgall's School in Divis Street.^[1]
