Hobart City High School is a government co-educational high school in New Town, Hobart. Hobart City High School was formed in 2022 when Oglivie High School and New Town High School merged. The merged schools are now co-educational and were the last of Tasmania's single-sex public schools.[1] Hobart City High caters for approximately 1200 students from Years 7 to 12. It is administered by the Tasmanian Department of Education.

Hobart City High School has two main campuses called Oglivie and New Town to recognise the previous schools. In 2022, the school's first lead principal was Deb Day.[2] As of 2024, the current lead principal is Britany Roestenburg. [3]
