Loyola Senior High School, or commonly Loyola, is an independent Roman Catholic comprehensive co-educational secondary day school for students in Year 11 and Year 12, located in Mount Druitt, a western suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. An Ignatian school in the tradition of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, the school was founded in 1993 and is a current member of the Christ Catholic College Community of Schools, linked to the international network of Jesuit schools begun in Messina, Sicily in 1548. The school is administered through the Catholic Education Office of the Diocese of Parramatta.

The eight-hectare (twenty-acre) lightly wooded and landscaped site received the Sulman Award from the Royal Australian Institute of Architects for its design.
