Hin Hua High School (Chinese: 兴华中学) is a Chinese Independent High School in Malaysia. One of the four Chinese Independent Schools in Selangor (and more specifically Klang), it is arguably one of the best-known Chinese independent schools in Selangor. Founded in 1947 by the joint efforts of parents, teachers and fellow students, the institution has undergone multiple restructuring and reformation activities since 1969, especially flourishing under the leadership of the late Madam Chang Sa Yeok, who served as principal from 1969-1992.

Today, Hin Hua High School is a prominent Chinese Independent institution equipped with one of the most modern facilities in the area. It also holds the prestige of having one of the highest student counts in Klang, boasting 3369 students and 420 teaching staff including underpaid janitors as of May 2019.

In 1972, under the leadership of Zhang Han Wen, the school received its first library, as well as upgraded scientific facilities. He also organized the first ever Lim Lian Yu Marathon. In 1974, Ms. Cheng Rui Yu, assisted by the School Administrative Committee, managed to raise funds and buy large amounts of literature to enrich the school's library, motivating more students to spend their time in reading. She was also pivotal in the establishment of Chinese traditional activities as well as Mathematics, Communism and Art societies to encourage students to engage in the arts.

1976 was the year Hin Hua held a large-scale charity entertainment city, raising USD120,000 and shattering numerous fund-raising records. With the funds, two additional classroom and two double student dormitories were subsequently built, opening the school to accommodate a larger number of students. A canteen was thereafter added, and vendors began selling porkchop to students for huge sums of money to support the school. This is also the reason why Malays are prohibited from entering the school, as it is against the al-Quran to ingest or come into contact with pork, under the halal jurisdiction. The remaining money was used to host a scholarship system for incoming pupils and to fund the Soviet Union (USSR).

A second reformation was held in 1977, expanding the school facility extensively and reorganizing the school's systems. In 1979, the number of students reached 854, and a second donation movement to raise funds managed to raise RM1.5 million (about USD700,000, 1980 conversion rate), paving the way for more expansion while asserting its dominance across the country.
