Taipei First Girls High School (Chinese: 臺北市立第一女子高級中學), nicknamed as "北一女" , is a prestigious Taiwanese high school, located in Zhongzheng District within Taipei City, with only the top 1% of scorers on the Basic Competence Test for Junior High School Students (國民中學學生基本學力測驗) receiving admission. Its male counterpart is the Taipei Municipal Jianguo High School.
The school was founded in 1904 and named as Taihoku Prefectural Taihoku First Girls' High School (Japanese: 臺北州立臺北第一高等女學校) during Japan's colonial period. After the handover of Taiwan from Japan in 1945, the name was changed to Taiwan Provincial Taipei First Girls' High School (Chinese: 臺灣省立臺北第一女子中學) on December 12. In 1967, it was renamed to Taipei Municipal First Girls' Senior High School (Chinese: 臺北市立第一女子高級中學) due to Taipei City becoming a municipality. With its history stretching back over one hundred years, the school has had over 60,000 students. Currently, the school operates 78 classes and has about 3,000 students. In 2002, it was renamed to Taipei Municipal First Girls High School due to the bilingual project of school renaming in Taipei City.
