Whitefish Bay High School is a comprehensive public secondary school located in the village of Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, United States. Enrollment is around 950 students, in grades 9 through 12.

The school newspaper, the Tower Times, and the school yearbook, The Tower, both refer to the school building's five-story tower and facade that rise over the main entrance. The central original building and tower, completed in 1932, were designed by Herbert W. Tullgren, a prominent Milwaukee architect.
