Áprily Lajos High School (Romanian: Colegiul Național "Áprily Lajos"; Hungarian: Áprily Lajos Főgimnázium) is a Romanian state school located at 4 După Ziduri Street in Centrul Vechi, a neighborhood of Brașov, Romania. The school educates children aged between 5 (grade 0) and 19 years old (grade 12). Named after Hungarian poet Lajos Áprily, the school is the only Hungarian-language high school in Brașov.

Since its founding as a Roman Catholic gymnasium in 1837, the school has hosted a number of significant Romanian and Hungarian personalities as both students and teachers. Important names include Herrmann Antal [hu], Bakó Árpád [hu], and Andrei Mureșanu.
