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 lost their lives while serving in the military.

The school is a member of School Union #102. MMHS students are residents of Machias as well as the neighboring towns of Jonesboro, Marshfield, Northfield, Roque Bluffs, Wesley, and Whitneyville.

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