Cheung Sha Wan Catholic Secondary School (CSWCSS) (Traditional Chinese:長沙灣天主教英文中學) is a secondary school in Hong Kong. It was established in 1970 by the Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong; Christ the King Church was an affiliated body until 1 September 1999, imbursed by the Government of Hong Kong.
The school is situated on Fuk Wing Street, Cheung Sha Wan. The school is a EMI (English as the medium of instruction) school. Before the introduction of the 3-3-4 New Senior Secondary Curriculum, only boys were admitted from Form 1 to Form 5 according to the traditional policy of admission while co-education is introduced at the level of matriculation (i.e. Form 6 and Form 7 respectively). However, after the graduation of the last batch of matriculation students, no more female students will be admitted since September 2012.
