Yat Sen Primary and Secondary School (traditional Chinese: 逸仙學校; simplified Chinese: 逸仙学校; pinyin: Yìxiān Xuéxiào) is a Chinese primary and secondary school located on Laucala Bay Road Suva, Fiji.

The Primary School (Years 1-8) was opened on June 15, 1936, under the name of Chinese School, and the Secondary School was opened in 1986[1]. In 1976, the name was changed to Yat Sen School, after Sun Yat-Sen, a Chinese revolutionary, and a founding father of the Republic of China. It is supported by Board of the Chinese Education Society, the PTFA, and old ex-scholars.

Emphasis is placed on academic excellence and self-discipline.[2] From 17 students initially, it has grown to over 1,100 students. Approximately 400 are in the secondary school, and 700 in the primary school.
