The Samuel F.B. Morse School at 2418 Sarah Street in the South Side Flats neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was built in 1874. It was named in honor of Samuel Morse, who is commonly called the inventor of the telegraph. Today, it is an apartment building known as "Morse Gardens".

The school originally served an area of German, Scotch-Irish, and Welsh immigrants, who floated a $66,000 bond issue in order to build the school.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 30, 1986.[1]
