St. James High School for Boys was a Catholic high school in Chester, Pennsylvania in the United States. It was part of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. The mascot was the Fighting Bulldog.

The school closed in 1993 at the archdiocese's order. In 2011, Ed Gebhart of the Delco Times wrote that the ceasing of operations was "as controversial today as it was at the time".

St. James Regional Catholic School in Ridley Park, Pennsylvania, a Catholic K-8 school which opened in 2012, was named in honor of the former St. James High School. The St. James High alum association suggested the name, and the new school asked to use the name, mascot, and colors. The St. James High alum headquarters hosted the first fundraiser for St. James Regional.
