Hummersknott Academy is a secondary school in Darlington in the north east of England.

In 1968 it was reorganised by the then Darlington County Borough to form one of six 11–16 co-educational comprehensive schools, with the Boys' Grammar School becoming a sixth form college nearer the town centre and near to the College of Technology, now known as QE (Queen Elizabeth).

In July 2007 a £15 million scheme to demolish and replace some school buildings and renovate others was initiated.

Work began on the school building during the summer of 2007, although plans for the new design were drawn up a year earlier.

In January of 2023 it was announced that a multi-academy trust in County Durham had bought the school; the deal was completed in September 2023.
