Matthew Humberstone Church of England School, also known as the Matthew Humberstone School, Matthew Humberstone C of E School, Matthew Humberstone Comprehensive School, MHS and Matty, was a secondary school in Cleethorpes, North East Lincolnshire, England, with a Church of England tradition. It existed between 1973 until it was closed due to amalgamation in 2010.

The school was established as a comprehensive school in September 1973, later becoming a specialist Business and Enterprise College (BEC). It was the only Church of England secondary school in North East Lincolnshire, formed through the amalgamation of Beacon Hill Secondary School and Humberston(e) Foundation School.

The school remained in this form until September 2010, when it transformed into Saint Andrew's College (a joint church school), based at the Matthew Humberstone Upper site on Chatsworth Place. (St Andrew's College became the Holy Family Catholic Academy in September 2013, before closing in July 2017 and reopening as Beacon Academy, sponsored by the Wellspring Academy Trust.)

The Clee Grammar School buildings on Clee Road, which were occupied until closure in 2008 by Matthew Humberstone School, remained empty until 2017, when the process of transforming them into a primary school began. Demolition of blocks built in the 1950s and remodelling of the remainder created the Bursar Primary Academy, replacing the Bursar Primary School.
