Northam Senior High School is a comprehensive public high school located in Northam, a regional centre 97 kilometres (60 mi) east of Perth, Western Australia.

The school was established in 1921 and by 2009 had an enrolment of 533 students between Year 8 and Year 12, 64 (12%) of whom were Aboriginal.^{[citation needed]}

It is the oldest Senior High School outside the metropolitan area^[1] and the third oldest school in Western Australia.

Many of the buildings are heritage listed having been built in 1921, 1930 and 1945. The main school building and the later additions that followed the original design are considered good examples of the inter-war art and craft style of building.^[2]
