Tempe High School is a government-funded co-educational dual modality partially academically selective and comprehensive secondary day school, located in Tempe, an inner-western suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

A 2004 proposal failed to combine Tempe, Dulwich Hill, Marrickville and Newtown high schools into a multi-campus college due to falling enrolments.^[3] Instead, from 2005 the school became partially selective offering places based on academic performance as well as accepting local students.

Notable alumni

Tim Cahill – Soccer Player (disputed)
Col Joye – Entertainer
Bob Simpson – Cricketer
Anba Suriel – Coptic Orthodox Bishop
