Brookville High School is a high school in Campbell County, Virginia, United States.
The school was founded in 1926 with the first elementary classes beginning in November.

The old building was eventually torn down in March, 1978 due to annexation. The current building was completed in 1969 and is now located on Laxton Road, on what is now the boundary between Campbell County and the city of Lynchburg.
