A staffroom or teachers' lounge is a room in a school or college. It may refer to a communal work area where teachers have their desk and prepare lessons if they do not have a personal office, or may be a common room where teachers and/or school staff can relax, discuss work, eat, drink and socialise while not in class.

Since teaching can be very stressful, the staffroom can be a place to unwind between classes, reduce stress, and promote teacher well-being.^[1]
