High School Old Boys is a rugby union football club based in Christchurch, New Zealand. The club was founded in 1901 by former students of Christchurch Boys' High School (CBHS). While many members are former CBHS students, High School Old Boys RFC is an open club accepting both male and female players. The club is affiliated with the Canterbury Rugby Football Union.

The official name of the club is the "Christchurch High School Old Boys Rugby Football Club". This is generally shortened to "High School Old Boys" (HSOB) and the club is commonly referred to simply as "Old Boys" or the "Polar Bears" due to their full white playing uniform and notoriously cold home fields.

The High School Old Boys clubrooms are located in Hagley Park adjacent to the Bob Deans Playing Fields on North Hagley Park, 12 Riccarton Avenue, Christchurch

Old Boys colours are: White jersey, white shorts and black socks with blue tops

• Graham Henry, former All Blacks coach
• Steve Hansen, current All Blacks coach
• Brad Mooar, former All Blacks assistant coach

A number of New Zealand representatives, called All Blacks, have been selected for international duties while affiliated to the club. Before the advent of professionalism in 1996, international players would appear for their clubs regularly in New Zealand, but since the introduction of Super Rugby, most professional players play for their clubs only rarely.
