Nansemond River High School is a public secondary school in Suffolk, Virginia, United States. It opened in September 1990 and originally consisted of students from two of the three former high schools of Suffolk, now middle schools, John F. Kennedy Middle School and John Yeates Middle School. Nansemond River opened its doors to approximately 1700 students. The student population swelled to nearly 2000 students in 2003, and in 2004, a new high school, King's Fork, was formed. As a result, Nansemond River's population dropped in the 2004-2005 school year to about 1100 students. However, the following year, the school opened its doors to about 1200 students once again.

The current principal is Dr. Shawn Green, and the assistant principals, or administrators, are Tina Paul, Kimberly Warholak, and Darrell Medley. The dean of students is Stevie Green.

Because of rezoning in 2004, the school district is composed of the rapidly suburbanizing Northeastern corner of the city, comprising the neighborhoods from Harbour View, Bennett's Creek, and the Driver areas, as well as other well-established communities such as Pughsville, Huntersville, and Belleville.
