Balfour Collegiate is a public high school in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, named after the city's former mayor, James Balfour. It officially opened on September 2, 1930. It is located in the Core Group neighbourhood of central Regina. Originally a technical school (with an attached commercial high school), Balfour was given official collegiate status in 1984 due to the closure of nearby Central Collegiate Institute.

Balfour Collegiate was chosen in 1995 as an exemplary secondary school by the Canadian Education Association.

Its feeder schools include Arcola Community School, Douglas Park School, Thomson Community School, Wascana Plains School, and W.F. Ready School.
