Wilde Lake High School is a secondary school located in Columbia, Maryland's Village of Wilde Lake, one of 12 public high schools in Howard County. Opened in 1971, it was Columbia's first high school. It had a unique open doughnut-shaped design until the original building was demolished and replaced in a more traditional style in 1996. The new style replicates the open idea, with a central main street, and halls surrounding it and a bridge across the second floor.

The school is centrally located in Howard County and its district borders that of River Hill High School, Marriotts Ridge High School, Centennial High School, Howard High School, Oakland Mills High School, and Atholton High School.
