The only "Yixian" school in Taiwan.
Preparation for Yixian Elementary began in February 1957 under the planned name "Datun Elementary School," but the school actually opened as "Zhongshan Elementary School." It was renamed 逸仙國小 in March 1973 by the Taipei City Department of Education, honoring Sun Yat-sen (孫逸仙) — making it the only school in Taiwan carrying that name. Its first principal was Wang Fang-lan, succeeded by Jin Xin-hua in the school's 55th academic year.
逸仙國小的籌設始於民國46年（1957年）2月，原規劃校名為「大屯國小」，實際開校時則稱「中山國小」。民國62年（1973年）3月，臺北市教育局將其更名為「逸仙國小」，以紀念孫逸仙——使其成為全台灣唯一以「逸仙」命名的學校。首任校長為王芳蘭，第二任校長金新華則於第55學年度接任。
