The High School Affiliated to Xi'an Jiaotong University (西安交通大学附属中学; XAJDFZ) is a public high school in Xi'an, Shaanxi, China, affiliated with Xi'an Jiaotong University.

The origins of the school can be traced back to 1896 when it was established as the predecessor of Jiaotong University, namely Nanyang Public School and its Intermediate School. In 1909, the Intermediate School and the advanced preparatory courses were transformed into a middle school. In 1927, the original Nanyang University's affiliated junior high and elementary sections were reorganized into the private Nanyang Model Middle School.

In 1959, the Shaanxi Provincial Education Department decided to designate the original Xi'an City No. 44 Middle School, situated adjacent to Jiaotong University (Xi'an Branch), as an affiliated middle school to the university. In 1971, the school was brought under the jurisdiction of Xi'an City and was converted into a public school. In 1981, the High School Affiliated to Xi'an Jiaotong University was re-established.
