Madrasa Saheb Ettabaâ (Arabic: مدرسة صاحب الطابع) is one of the madrasahs of the medina of Tunis.

It is located in Sidi El Aloui Street, near Saheb Ettabaâ Mosque in El Halfaouine square.

The madrasa was built with the Saheb Ettabaâ Mosque during the Husainid era following the orders of Youssef Saheb Ettabaa.

In 1930, it accommodated 71 students.

After Tunisian independence, a part of the madrasa became the office of a Neo Destour club.

It is divided into two parts: The main one is called Madrasa Saheb Ettabaâ Al Kubra (big madrasa) while the other one is named Madrasa Saheb Ettabaâ Al Sughra (small madrasa).

Sidi Brahim Riahi was one of the most popular professors to teach in this madrasa like Mohamed Laroussi Metoui.

The last director of the madrasa was Omar Chachia.
