Sacred Heart School – Ateneo de Cebu (SHS-AdC) (commonly referred to as Ateneo de Cebu), (Chinese: 宿务亞典耀聖心學校; pinyin: Sùwù Yàdiǎnyào Shèngxīn Xuéxiào; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Sok-bū A-tián-iāu Sèng-sim Ha̍k-hāu) formerly known as Sacred Heart School for Boys (SHS-B), is a private, Catholic, Chinese-Filipino college-preparatory, K-12 school run by the Philippine Province of the Society of Jesus in Mandaue City, Philippines. It was established in 1955 with a curriculum that includes a Chinese language course.

On March 4, 2010, the board of trustees of the Sacred Heart School unanimously approved the changing of the school's official name to Sacred Heart School – Ateneo de Cebu. Previously, its name was Sacred Heart School of the Society of Jesus or Sacred Heart School – Jesuit (SHS-J). After its renaming, SHS-AdC became the ninth Jesuit school in the Philippines to bear the prestigious Ateneo name.

Sacred Heart School – Ateneo de Cebu also serves as a bridge between the Filipino and Chinese Filipino communities through Christian education that accepts not only Chinese Filipinos but also students who have no Chinese roots.
