Bruynswick School No. 8 is located in the small hamlet of the same name in the northwestern portion of the Town of Shawangunk, in Ulster County, New York, USA. It is a one-room schoolhouse, built in 1840 to replace an older school a quarter-mile (400 m) to the south. It continued to be used as a school until 1943.

Since then it has been renovated and converted into a private home. In 2000 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
