Eastern Technical High School (ETHS) is a high school in Essex, Maryland, United States. It was designated as a Maryland Blue Ribbon High School in 1997, 2009, and 2010, a National Blue Ribbon High School in 2010, and a USDE New American High School in 1999. The school is commonly referred to as Eastern Tech.

ETHS was previously known as Eastern Vocational Technical High School (EVT), but due to a lack of participation in the vocational program and an increased demand for technology education, the vocational program was removed and the school was renamed in 1994. Unlike the other high schools in the area, Eastern Tech is not bound to one specific school district. All students must take an entrance exam and meet certain criteria for acceptance to the school.
