Inverkeithing High School is a secondary school located in Inverkeithing, a historic town on Fife's southern coast 3½ miles from Dunfermline city centre, 9½ miles from Edinburgh city centre, and in between the towns and villages of Dalgety Bay, Rosyth and North Queensferry.

The school has around 1,500 pupils (with students ranging in age from 11 to 18), with 94% of students coming from within the catchment area and 6% of students coming from outside the catchment area. The school employs approximately 150 staff.

The school has a swimming pool, football pitches, AstroTurf and tennis courts, and has been a Category B Listed Building since 2004.

Inverkeithing High School will be replaced by the new Caledonia High School in the neighbouring town of Rosyth in August 2026. This year marks the final year of Inverkeithing High Schools operation. The building will have the capacity to accommodate 1735 pupils, over three floors, with an open 'see and be seen' approach throughout the school.
