Coleraine High School was an all-girls' grammar school located in Coleraine, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The High School, or Gordonville Ladies' Academy as it was originally known, was founded in 1875 in Alexander Terrace, Coleraine, by Mrs Long, assisted by her daughter and staff.

From 1924 until 1959, the school, as a voluntary grammar school, was controlled by a board of governors. In 1959, the day school was transferred to the County Londonderry Education Committee, and then, in the local government re-organisation of 1973, to the North Eastern Education and Library Board as a controlled grammar school. The Boarding Department remained the responsibility of the Board of Governors until its closure in 1997. The school moved from the "Gordonville" site in 1966 when the present buildings were completed and a further extension was added in 1971. It was once home to both boarders and day pupils. Later, the boarding department closed but there were still over 800 day pupils.

Coleraine High School merged with Coleraine Academical Institution to form Coleraine Grammar School. As of 2024 the Lodge Road campus is now closed.

The school is divided into four houses:

• Fermoyle - yellow
• Culrath - red
• Inverbann- indigo
• Cranagh - turquoise

As of February 2012, the old boarders building of Spring Gardens has been demolished.

In June 2015, Coleraine High School amalgamated with Coleraine Academical Institution to form Coleraine Grammar School. Between 2015 and 2024, the school operated on both the former site of Coleraine High School and the Coleraine Academical Institution site. From autumn term 2024, all pupils attend lessons on the site of the former Coleraine Academical Institution following the closure of the Coleraine High School site.^[1]
