Shanghai High School (Chinese: 上海市上海中学) is a public high school in Shanghai, China. Founded in 1865 as Longmen Academy (龙门书院) by Shanghai Intendant Ding Richang, and later becoming the namesake high school of Shanghai in 1949, it is locally considered one of the city's most prestigious high schools, hailed as part of the "Big Four" high schools of Shanghai.
The high school's campus sprawls 340 mu (approx. 56 acres) across the Changqiao subdistrict of Xuhui District, southwest of the Shanghai Botanical Garden and west of East China University of Science and Technology.
Its junior department was separated to Shanghai Huayu Private School (simplified Chinese: 上海市民办华育中学; traditional Chinese: 上海市民办华育中學) in 1999. Shanghai High School's sister school in Hong Kong is the St. Paul's Co-educational College.
