The Alliance High School (AHS) is a public national high school for boys located in Kikuyu, Kenya.

Established on 1 March 1926 by the Alliance of Protestant Churches (the Church of Scotland Mission (later known as the Presbyterian Church of East Africa or PCEA), Church of the Province of Kenya (CPK) (later known as the Anglican Church of Kenya), African Inland Church (AIC), the Friends Church (Quakers) and the Methodist Church) the school was later named the Alliance High School. It was one of the first schools in Kenya to offer secondary school education to Africans. The school is located approximately 22 kilometres (14 mi) from Nairobi's central business district, and a 10-minute walk from its sister school, the Alliance Girls' High School.

Alliance High School was the highest ranked school in Kenya from 1960 to 1985, and has consistently scored near the top of the national league tables.
