High School Caesar is a 1960 American drama film directed by O'Dale Ireland. Starring John Ashley, Gary Vinson, Steve Stevens, Lowell Brown, Judy Nugent and Daria Massey. Filmgroup released the film as a double feature with Date Bait.

Chaos descends upon a small Midwestern school when an unscrupulous student asserts gangland tactics on his classmates.

Plot: Matt Stevens is the big man at high school. He sweats the students for protection money, acquires copies of tests for a fee, and has rigged the votes so he can beat Kelly in the election for student president. Aside from his anointed acolytes, Matt is almost universally despised. His parents are obscenely rich and spend their time traveling in Europe rather than giving him the parental guidance he needs. Things turn tragic when some of the teens resist his power and show him up at the drag race. When afterwards someone dies in a car wreck.
