Menntaskólinn í Reykjavík (often abbreviated MR; official name in English: Reykjavik Junior College) is the oldest gymnasium (Icelandic: Menntaskóli) in Reykjavík, Iceland. The Menntaskóli in Reykjavik.

The school traces its origin to 1056, when a school was established in Skálholt, and it remains one of the oldest institutions in Iceland. The school was moved to Reykjavík in 1786, but poor housing conditions forced it to move again in 1805 to Bessastaðir near Reykjavík. In 1846 the school was moved to its current location, and a new building was erected for it in Reykjavík. This was the largest building in the country at the time and can be seen on the 500 Icelandic krona bill. It was used initially when Alþingi began to meet again in Reykjavík after a few years hiatus and thus it is in this building where Icelandic independence leader Jón Sigurðsson led the MPs in their famous phrase, 'Vér mótmælum allir'.

The school had previously been known as "Lærði skólinn" (The Learned School), "Latínuskólinn" (The Latin School) or by the Latin title "Scholae Reykjavicensis", but received its present name in 1937.

Menntaskólinn í Reykjavík offers a four-year course of study. It usually ends with a degree (stúdentspróf) which gives the graduating student the right to advance to an Icelandic university.

Many Icelandic politicians, including former Prime Minister Davíð Oddsson and the current President of Iceland, Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, attended MR. Almost every Prime Minister of Iceland has been educated at the school apart from Halldór Ásgrímsson, Ólafur Jóhannesson and Þorsteinn Pálsson. Geir H. Haarde, Davíð's successor as chairman of the Independence Party and former Prime Minister, also took over from him as chairman of the student body ("inspector scholae"). The current President of Iceland, Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, was also the president of the other student body, Framtíðin.

Some notable Icelandic authors have also attended MR, amongst them Tómas Guðmundsson, Guðmundur G. Hagalín, and Davíð Stefánsson. Halldór Kiljan Laxness, a Nobel-prize winning author, also attended the school for some time but dropped out. Another attendee, Niels Ryberg Finsen won the Nobel Prize in medicine.

Noted Icelandic scholar Sveinbjörn Egilsson served as the first rector of the school from its founding in Reykjavík in 1846.
