Royal High School Bath is a private day and boarding school for girls located in Bath, Somerset, England. Established in 1998 from the merger of two older schools, the Royal School (founded in 1864) and Bath High School (founded in 1875), it enrols approximately 600 students across Nursery, Prep, Senior, and Sixth Form levels. The school has two campuses, with the Senior School and Sixth Form on Lansdown Road and the Nursery and Prep School at Cranwell House. Sixth Form students have the option to pursue either A-Level or International Baccalaureate qualifications.

Royal High School Bath is a member of the Girls' Day School Trust (GDST), the UK's largest network of independent girls' schools, and is the only GDST school offering boarding. Its facilities include extensive arts, sports, and music programmes, including the renowned Steinway Music School.
