The Colfax Elementary & Middle School is a public school in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. Its building, built in 1911, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1] As of October 1, 2017, there were a total of 890 students enrolled in the school.[4] The school's Principal is Dr. Tamara Sanders- Woods and the Vice Principal is Joan Murphy (middle school). The school is one of oldest schools still open in the City of Pittsburgh. The school added a new building with a glass bridge connecting the two buildings, in 2007 circa. The school is under Pittsburgh Public Schools direction, and led by Superintendent Anthony Hamlet.

Parents gathered at school after reports of a lockdown due to suspicious gun activity linked to a student. There were no final findings to the lockdown.
The new building was built in the early 2010s and a bridge is connected. Mostly 7th and 8th graders learn in the new building but both buildings work synonymously for all students.
