Al-Firdaws Madrasa, also known as the School of Paradise, is a 13th-century complex in Aleppo, Syria, lying southwest of Bab al-Maqam. It comprises a madrasa, a mausoleum and other functional spaces. It is described as the largest and best known of the Ayyubid madrasas in Aleppo. Because it stood outside the city walls, it was developed as a freestanding building rather than being fitted among neighbouring structures. Arabic sources also list it among the historic mosques of Aleppo and place it near Bab al-Hadaiq.
