The King Edward VI Foundation Birmingham is a charitable institution that operates thirteen schools in Birmingham, England.

The Foundation was registered as a charity in November 1963 under the name "The Schools of King Edward VI in Birmingham".

In 2019/20 the Foundation had a gross income of approximately £21 million,^[1] much of which is derived from extensive land holdings in the centre of Birmingham. The Academy Trust has a further income of approximately £47 million.
