Somerville House is an independent, boarding and day school for girls and is located in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The School was named after the British scientific writer, Mary Somerville (1780 – 1872).

Somerville House provides classes from Preparatory to Year 12, within three sub-schools — Junior (Years Prep to 6), Middle (Years 7 to 9), and Senior (Years 10 to 12). Somerville House has consistently won acclaim for its achievements since it opened in 1899 as the Brisbane High School for Girls, with outstanding academic, sporting, and cultural programs. The School's strong focus on curriculum and pastoral care is instrumental in developing confident, well-educated and critical thinking young women. Somerville House is a member of the Queensland Girls' Secondary Schools Sports Association Inc (QGSSSA).

The School provides excellent opportunities for students to participate in an extensive academic, sporting and cultural programme, as well as setting high standards in personal care and attention to individuals within the School community.

The School is owned by the Presbyterian and Methodist Schools Association (PMSA) and is related thereby to Brisbane Boys' College, Clayfield College, Sunshine Coast Grammar School and Moreton Bay Boys' College, the other schools connected with the PMSA.
