Allan Wilson High School is a boys' high school in Harare, Zimbabwe, named after British Army officer Allan Wilson. Wilson led the Shangani Patrol in the First Chimurenga (war) against the people of Matabeleland. He died in that war near Shangani River, defending Rhodesians who were fighting to colonise Zimbabwe.
The school shares a boundary fence/wall with Prince Edward School to the north and Harare Polytechnic to the south.
