Fairfield High School is a co-educational secondary school with academy status, located in the Horfield area of Bristol, England. The school serves a catchment area that includes Horfield, Lockleaze, and Eastville.

Originally established in 1898, the institution operated as Fairfield Grammar School for over a century before reorganising as a comprehensive school in 2000. In 2006, the school relocated from its Victorian premises in Montpelier to a new £22 million purpose-built campus, which it shares with the Elmfield School for the Deaf. The school joined the Excalibur Academies Trust in 2015 and specialises in the performing and visual arts.
