Ysgol Uwchradd Aberteifi ( Welsh for 'Cardigan secondary school') is a bilingual secondary school in Cardigan, Ceredigion, Wales. It offers secondary education from ages 11 to 18, incorporating GCSEs and A-Levels in its sixth form. The motto is Egni a Lwydd (Energy Succeeds).

The school is categorized as bilingual type C by the Welsh Government, meaning that 50–79% of subjects, excluding Welsh and English, are taught through the medium of Welsh but are also taught through the medium of English. ^{[1] [2]} According to the latest Estyn report in 2022, 21.3% of pupils spoke Welsh at home. ^[3]

Mrs Nicola James was the school's Headteacher for twelve years until her retirement in August 2024.

The school appeared on S4C's Hip neu Sgip?: Yn erbyn y cloc in 2011, as part of a garden makeover item which took place at the school in September 2010.^{[ citation needed ]}

The Proclamation ceremony for the Ceredigion National Eisteddfod of Wales took place at the school on 29 June 2019, ^[4] though the Eisteddfod was eventually postponed to 2022.
