The English High School of Boston, Massachusetts is a high school that was founded in 1821. The current Headmaster is Jose P. Duarte.

The school is currently located in the Jamaica Plain area of Boston, its seventh location in the city. Its second location, on the corner of Pickney and Anderson Streets, eventually became the Phillips School, a school for then free born and emancipated African Americans before the American Civil War. It is the oldest public high school in America.

Each Thanksgiving since 1887, English has played Boston Latin in football in one of the oldest school rivalries in the United States.
