We extend Choptuik's scaling phenomenon found in general relativistic critical gravitational collapse of a massless scalar field to higher dimensions. We find that in the range 4 <= D <= 11 the behavior is qualitatively similar to that discovered by Choptuik. In each dimension we obtain numerically the universal numbers associated with the critical collapse: the scaling exponent gamma and the echoing period Delta. The behavior of these numbers with increasing dimension seems to indicate that gamma reaches a maximum and Delta a minimum value around 11 <= D <= 13. These results and their relation to the black hole-black string system are discussed.
