Brisbane State High School (BSHS) is a co-educational, state secondary school in Brisbane, Queensland. It was the first state secondary school established in Brisbane.

The school was founded in 1921 as the 'Normal School', at the corner of Adelaide and Edward Streets, in the Brisbane CBD. It was relocated to its current campus next to Musgrave Park at South Brisbane, in 1925.

BSHS is a member of the Great Public Schools Association of Queensland Inc (GPS), with eight other (boys) private schools from the south-east region of Queensland. It is also a member of the Queensland Girls Secondary Schools Sports Association Inc (QGSSSA), with eight other (girls) private schools and one other co-educational school.

The school is highly competitive with the private schools of Brisbane, in both sporting and academic activities.
