Devonport High School for Boys is an 11–18 boys grammar school and academy in Plymouth, Devon, England. It has around 1,150 boys, and its catchment area includes southwest Devon and southeast Cornwall as well as Plymouth. Pupils are accepted on the basis of academic aptitude.

The school catchment area draws boys from a wide area extending beyond Plymouth, with the numbers of boys being entitled to free school meals being well below average. The proportion of boys attending the school from minority ethnic groups is below the national average, although there are a number who speak English as an additional language.[3]
