Parkfield High School was a secondary school located in Wolverhampton, West Midlands, England.

Opened in April 1962, it was situated in the Parkfield area of the city (which was part of Coseley until 1966) and served the neighbourhoods of Lanesfield, Woodcross and Ettingshall. It was built during the 1950s, with extensions following during the 1970s, and around 1980 the main building was extensively renovated due to mining subsidence.

The last headmaster before the change into the "South Wolverhampton and Bilston Academy" was Mr Arthur Thompson, who retired in July 2009. The two sites which Parkfields maintained joined together on the Wolverhampton Road East site from September 2009.
