Llanedeyrn High School (Welsh: Ysgol Uwchradd Llanedern) was a comprehensive school located in the Llanedeyrn area of Cardiff, Wales. It opened in 1970 as the first purpose-built comprehensive school in Wales. From September 2011 the school did not take in any new pupils at Year 7 and the school closed to all pupils in the summer of 2013. The school's site was taken over by St Teilo's Church in Wales High School, which moved from its former location in Penylan to new buildings on Llanedeyrn High School's former playing fields.
