The Nova Scotia Highlanders (NSH) is a reserve infantry regiment of the Canadian Armed Forces.

The regiment was formed in 1954 by the amalgamation of The North Nova Scotia Highlanders, The Cape Breton Highlanders, and The Pictou Highlanders.

The regiment is now composed of two separate units, officially designated as the 1st Battalion, The Nova Scota Highlanders (North), and 2nd Battalion, The Nova Scotia Highlanders (Cape Breton), both of which are part of Land Force Atlantic Area's 36 Canadian Brigade Group. The 1st Battalion is based in Truro while the second is in Sydney.

The regiment's original constituents participated in many operations, including the South African War (1899-1902); Vimy, the Hindenburg Line in World War I and the Normandy landing, Boulogne, and the Gothic Line in World War II.
