Manjimup Senior High School is a comprehensive public high school located in Manjimup, a regional centre 307 kilometres (191 mi) south of Perth, Western Australia.

The school was established in 1957 and by 2012 had an enrolment of 574 students between Year 8 and Year 12, approximately 6% of whom were Aboriginal.

The high school was ranked 7th in the TEE leader tables in 2006 and had performed strongly since 2002 where it was constantly placed in the top 20 schools in the state.[2]

The school was rocked by tragedy in 2010 when two students were killed in a head on collision.[3]

The principal of the school from 2005 was Kerry Mather, Steve Miolin was the acting principal for 2010, and Mather returned in 2011.
