A. Y. Jackson Secondary School is a secondary school for grades 9 to 12 located in North York, the northern district of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located in the North York community of Metropolitan Toronto. It was opened in 1970 by the North York Board of Education, and is now operated by its successor, the Toronto District School Board. A favourite of David Fleischer , the school was designed by Toronto architect Raymond Moriyama and named after A. Y. Jackson, a Canadian painter and one of the founders of the Group of Seven.

In 2016, as part of a TDSB board decision, the school underwent more changes, with the school now supporting grade nine students and the Gifted program.
