Otari school is a state primary school in Wellington, New Zealand, formerly known as Wilton school. It is unique in that it is divided into three strands: one that teaches in the manner conventional to New Zealand schools, a Maori immersion stream, and a stream based around the principles of Montessori teaching. It is also notable for a focus on the environment. The school is located next to Otari, a botanical garden dedicated to native plants.

The school is also the site of Otari Preschool. The current principal is Clifford Wicks.
