Chong Hwa Independent High School, Kuala Lumpur (, , often abbreviated as CHKL) is one of Malaysia's oldest co-educational high schools.
Established in 1919 in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur, the school was a primary school. It became a high school when the school board purchased a piece of land of 24,000 square metres along Jalan Ipoh and decided to build the high school there. It has remained there ever since.
In 2017, the school began planning to establish a branch campus, and in June 2024 the plan was greenlit by all relevant authorities including the Ministry of Education and the Shah Alam City Council. The new campus is located in Elmina, Shah Alam, Selangor, on a plot of land of 10,000 square meters donated by Sime Darby Property. The campus will undergo three phrases of construction with the first phrase due to complete in 2027. Planned facilities include a gymnasium which contains a racetrack, basketball court, football field, and a swimming pool.
