Shanghai Shixi High School or "Shanghai Shixi Middle School " (Chinese: 上海市市西中学; literally: "High School of Western Shanghai") is a public high school located in the Jing'an District of Shanghai, China.

It was one of the first demonstration high schools certified by the Shanghai municipal authorities. Originally founded in 1869, the school changed its name to "Shixi Middle School" in 1946. In 1953 it was nominated as one of the first key schools in Shanghai.

President of Shixi Middle School, Mr. Gu Zhenqing is a member of Shanghai People's Congress while being a professional special grade Middle school president. The school has a teaching team of 5 professional special grade teachers and 78 Middle special grade teachers. Its research groups, including Chinese, Mathematics, English and Physics, have enjoyed high reputation in Jing'an District. It is also honored as the "Municipal Experimental School on Biology and Life Science Courses".

As a boarding school, Shixi Middle School enrolls outstanding junior school students and some students of music or sports talent for their further growth and development. Meanwhile, Shixi Middle School actively participates in some international academic research programs such as "Project Healthy Youth" organized by UNESCO. It has also established relationships with schools in Germany, UK, Australia, Japan and Hong Kong, etc.

Partner schools include Dartford Grammar School (England) and St Peters College (Australia).

In February 2005, eight Chinese students and two staff from the school visited England for 11 days and spent the majority of their time at St. Mary's Catholic High School, Menston. Since 2009 they have also partaken in exchange programs with St Peters College.

In recent years significant achievements by the students from Shixi Middle Schools have been witnessed in the national university entrance examination. Students have won more than 100 medals in various kinds of municipal, national and international competitions.
