Bishop Cotton Boys' School is an all-boys school for boarders and day scholars in Bangalore, India, founded in memory of George Cotton, Bishop of Calcutta.
The school is bordered by Residency Road, St Mark's Road, Lavelle Road and Vittal Mallya Road, and is spread over of land in the heart of Bangalore.
School heads in the early days included George Uglow Pope, Herbert Pakenham-Walsh, S. T. Pettigrew, William Elphick, Iowerth Lowell Thomas and A. T. Balraj.

The sister school Bishop Cotton Girls High School is located across the street right on St. Mark's Road and can be reached by a 2-minute walk.
== Origins ==
The school's past extends back to the British Raj and the Victorian era with its beginnings in a house on High Grounds over which now stand the great ITC Windsor Hotel . It was started in 1865 by S. T. Pettigrew, the then Chaplain of St Mark's Cathedral who had a vision of starting a school for the education of children of European and Anglo-Indian families. In his own words, he wanted to ''"establish a day and boarding School for the Children of Christian residents in the station and its vicinity."'' The school was named in honour of George Cotton, Bishop of Calcutta, under whose stewardship a scheme of education was organized for the Anglican Churches in India.
In the first five years of the School it had three principals. It was only with the arrival of George Uglow Pope, a distinguished Tamil Scholar (who translated the famed Tirukkuṛaḷ into English) that the present site was acquired For Rs 47,500. The boys school and the girls School functioned on the same campus but under different heads. Under the stewardship of Pope, the school grew from strength to strength. A collegiate section was started and the School obtained recognition from the University of Madras. He gave the School its motto - 'Nec Dextrorsum Nec Sinistrorsum' meaning 'Neither to the right nor to the Left '.
When Pope left India in 1892 to take up the post of Reader at Oxford University, the standard of the School began to decline. By 1906, closure of the school was contemplated.
It was Henry Whitehead, Bishop of Madras, who as the Chairman of the Board of Governors, as a last resort to save the School from closure, invited the members of the Saint Peter's Brotherhood to prevent such an eventuality. Herbert Pakenham-Walsh, of the Brotherhood of St. Peter, later to become Bishop, revived the school. The school still celebrates St. Peter's day amongst other traditions such as Guy Fawkes' bonfires. In 1911, the girls school was moved across the road. Elphick worked for a quarter of century for the growth of the school.
The last living member of the Brotherhood of St Peter in India, Father David, died a few years back of old age. He lived and worked in the school as the school chaplain.
