Alexandra High School is a public high school in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

The school is named after Queen Alexandra Caroline, Queen Consort of England, and first opened on 23 February 1960. Though it was initially a whites-only, all-boys school, the first non-white pupil was admitted in June 1991. Alexandra High School became co-educational at the beginning of 1992. The school colours are maroon and blue.

Both genders have two uniforms: winter and summer, also known as "Number one" and "Number two" uniforms respectively. The boy's winter uniform consists of a maroon blazer, a white button up shirt (long sleeved or short sleeved), a maroon and powder blue tie and long grey pants. The shoes are shiny brown leather, and the socks are dark grey.

The boy's summer uniform consists of a khaki safari suit, with long khaki socks and the same shiny brown leather shoes. Girls wear nearly identical uniforms in winter and summer. The uniform consists of a blue skirt, white button up shirt and the same maroon blazer. The same maroon and blue tie is worn. Winter uniforms differ from summer uniforms in that a blazer is compulsory.

Pupils in grade 12 - 'matrics' - are entitled to wear a completely powder blue tie as part of the winter uniform, and the boys may wear a differently cut khaki shirt as part of the summer uniform."
