Hengshui High School (simplified Chinese: 河北衡水中学; traditional Chinese: 河北衡水中學; pinyin: Héběi Héngshuǐ Zhōngxué), also known as Hengshui High School of Hebei Province, is a prestigious high school in Hengshui, Hebei Province, China. It was established in 1951.

Hengshui High School is a semi-military school, which means that its students must obey a strict set of rules and regulations. Students are all required to study more than 15 hours per day and almost 7 days per week. As a result, a large number of students dropped out of the school, and some feel hostility to the school.
