Columbine High School is a secondary school in unincorporated Jefferson County, Colorado. The school was the scene of the Columbine High School massacre on April 20, 1999.

The school is located at 6201 South Pierce Street, one mile west of the Littleton city limits and half a mile south of the Denver city/county line. "Littleton" is indicated in the school's postal address because its ZIP code, 80123, is primarily associated with that city. However, the school is part of the Jefferson County Public Schools district and not the Littleton Public Schools system. The current principal is Dr. Frank DeAngelis.

The school was the site of the Columbine High School massacre on April 20, 1999, when Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed 12 students and one teacher, and wounded 24 others, before taking their own lives. The massacre made headlines around the world, making Columbine a household name, and causing a moral panic in American high schools.

After the shooting, classes at Columbine were held at nearby Chatfield High School for the remaining three weeks of that school year.
