Shanghai High School International Division (abbreviated SHSID, 上海中学国际部 in Chinese) is an international school in Shanghai, China, of Shanghai High School for students in grades 1–12. The school features two parallel curricula in Chinese and English. It is the earliest government supported international school to be founded in Shanghai. Although still a relatively new school compared to the history of Shanghai High School, its students consistently matriculate to many of the top universities around the world.

The Shanghai High School campus is situated on the historical site of the Lunghua Civilian Assembly Center, an internment camp established by the Empire of Japan for American and European citizens. James Graham Ballard was interned in the camp as an adolescent. His experiences there inspired the book (and subsequent film) Empire of the Sun.

On June 1, 1993, Shanghai High School approved the establishment of an International Division. SHSID enrolls more than 2000 students from over 50 different nations and regions. Academics are separated into English and Chinese sections. The Chinese section is based on education in mainland China and education in Hong Kong. The English section is based on education in the United States, the IB Diploma Programme, and the Advanced Placement Program. A division of one of the oldest high schools in Shanghai and all of China, SHSID is also known as one of the very first international schools established in the People's Republic of China and is a UNESCO school.
