Balfour Collegiate is a public high school in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, named after the city's former mayor, James Balfour. A part of Regina Public Schools, 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.
