Miami Sunset Senior High School is a secondary school located at 13125 SW 72nd Street in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, Florida, USA; its principal is Lucia Cox. The school is part of the Miami-Dade County Public Schools System.

Sunset opened its doors in 1977. Beginning in the late 1990s, Sunset became one of many overcrowded schools in the county, due to the population explosion in the metropolitan area. This forced the school district to build two other schools: Felix Varela High School] and John A. Ferguson High School.
