East Springfield Union School, also known as Springfield Central School, is a historic school building located at East Springfield in Otsego County, New York. It was built in two stages, starting in 1909. The original front section is a two-story, "T" plan, cross gabled Neoclassical style building executed in rusticated concrete block and set on a half raised basement. The rear portion is a single story utilitarian concrete block structure built in 1936. The main facade includes a protruding, full height central gable, its pediment featuring an Adamesque lunette window, fishscale slates, and a heavy wood cornice. The school closed in 1989.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[1]
