Sabah Tshung Tsin Secondary School (Sekolah Menengah Tshung Tsin Sabah in Malay, (Chinese: 沙巴崇正中学; pinyin: Shābā chóngzhèng zhòng xué) is a Chinese independent high school located in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. Established in 1965 by the Api-Api Hakka Association to address the educational needs of Chinese students in the region, the school has since become one of the sixty-three Chinese Independent High Schools in Malaysia. In 2007, the school was chosen as one of the ten Chinese Independent High Schools in Malaysia to be included as a Cluster School under the Education Blueprint of the Malaysian Government's Ninth Malaysia Plan.

Founded amidst educational reforms in 1962 that limited secondary school access, Sabah Tshung Tsin Secondary School aimed to provide opportunities for students unable to continue their studies. The school officially opened its doors on January 25, 1965, with an initial enrolment of 78 students, utilizing classrooms borrowed from Chung Hwa Chinese Primary School Karamunsing. Overcoming early challenges, including low enrolment, the school saw significant growth under new management, achieving a student body of over 670 by 1967. Despite governmental changes affecting enrolment policies, the school adapted and expanded its offerings, including classes for the Malaysian Education Certificate and Pre-university studies. Over the years, it has undergone numerous developments, including the construction of new buildings and facilities to enhance the educational experience. Until now, it is the school with the most students in Sabah, having an enrolment of 2500 pupils.
