Bukit Merah Secondary School (Abbreviation: BMSS; Simplified Chinese: 达善中学; Traditional Chinese: 紅山中學; Pinyin: Hóng Shān Zhōng Xúe; Malay: Sekolah Menengah Bukit Merah) is a mixed/co-educational, single session, government secondary school in the Central Region of Singapore. It is situated along Lengkok Bahru in the Bukit Merah vicinity. The school offers the Express, Normal Academic and Normal Technical streams leading to a GCE 'N' level or a GCE 'O' Level certificate. Students in the school are known as "Merahans". BMSS has established itself as a Value-Added school since 1993.
Bukit Merah Secondary School was established in 1968 and received its first batch of students on 4 January 1968. It was officially declared open by then-MP of Bukit Merah, Mr Lim Guan Hoo, on 16 May 1968.
In 2001, the school underwent the Ministry of Education (MOE)'s PRIME programme and shifted its location to a temporary holding site at 10 Raeburn Park so that rebuilding works could be carried out at its original Lengkok Bahru site. The school's rebuilding was completed in March 2003.
In January 2004, Delta Secondary School was merged into Bukit Merah Secondary School. The merged school is functioning at the newly rebuilt Bukit Merah Secondary School site at Lengkok Bahru. Subsequently, in January 2017, Bukit Merah Secondary School also absorbed Henderson Secondary School.
The school celebrated its 40th anniversary on 12 April 2008, with Lui Tuck Yew as the Guest-of-Honour.
The badge, shaped like a triangle, resembles a hill in red because the school is situated on a hill of red laterite. The lettering incorporates in the initials "bm" for Bukit Merah, and the Chinese calligraphy for '红山', only known by staff and students
