Buckhaven High School was a six-year co-educational non-denominational comprehensive school in Buckhaven, Fife, Scotland. Originally, Buckhaven was Levenmouth's high school for pupils who passed their Eleven-plus examination, but later served all pupils from its catchment areas. The school's motto was Perseverando (Persevere).

The school's origins dated back to the 1860s and for many years it occupied a site in College Street, Buckhaven. The most recent building was in use from 1957 until 2016, and in 1976 an extension was completed. The catchments for the school were Buckhaven Primary, Methilhill Primary, East Wemyss Primary, Coaltown of Wemyss Primary, Parkhill Primary, Kirkton of Largo Primary and Kennoway Primary. They also received pupils from outwith the catchments who submitted placing requests.
