Jesuit High School is a private Roman Catholic college-preparatory school for boys in grades eight through twelve. It is located in the Mid-City neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana and is operated by the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits).

The school was founded in 1847 as the College of the Immaculate Conception and became a separate secondary institution in 1911 when the college division relocated and later developed into Loyola University New Orleans. Jesuit High School was moved to 4133 Banks Street in 1926.
