The present invention discloses a high-voltage ESD protection device including a silicon controlled rectifier and a first PNP transistor. The silicon controlled rectifier includes a high-voltage P-well and N-well; a first N+ and P+ diffusion region are formed in the high-voltage P-well; a second N+ and P+ diffusion region are formed in the high-voltage N-well. The first PNP transistor comprises an N-type buried layer; a low-voltage N-well formed in the N-type buried layer; and a base, emitter and collector formed in the low-voltage N-well. The base and emitter are shorted together; the collector is shorted to the second N+ diffusion region and the second P+ diffusion region; the first N+ diffusion region is shorted to the first P+ diffusion region to act as a ground terminal. The high-voltage ESD protection device can effectively adjust the ESD trigger voltage and improve the snapback sustaining voltage after the device is switched on.
