Machias Memorial High School (MMHS) is a public secondary school (grades 9–12) located in Machias, Maine. The school was originally established in 1850 as Machias High School, and was later renamed to honor students and alumni who died while serving in the military.

The school mascot is a bulldog, and the school colors are orange and black. The school yearbook, the Margaretta, is named after HMS Margaretta, a British schooner captured on the Machias River during the American Revolutionary War.
