Langley High School was a secondary school located in Oldbury, West Midlands, England. It served the Langley area of the town and was situated in Moat Road.

Plans were announced in 2006 to merge Langley High with nearby Bristnall. These plans coincided with the school finishing lowest of 18 secondary schools in Sandwell, when a mere 16% of GCSE students attained 5 or more 'A' to 'C' grades.

However, the school later merged with nearby Warley High School, becoming Oldbury College of Sport and it was announced that Bristnall Hall Technology College (currently situated on Bristnall Hall Road) was to be rebuilt on the Moat Road site, with the relocation expected to take place during the early 2010s.

Unusually, the merger took place halfway through an academic year, which meant that Langley High closed its doors for the last time in December 2006.
