"Melbourne Girls Grammar (also known as MGGS, and earlier as MCEGGS), is an independent, Anglican, day and boarding school for girls, located in South Yarra, an inner city suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Founded in 1893 by Emily Hensley and Alice Taylor, the school has a non-selective enrolment policy and caters for 950 students from Pre-school to Year 12, including 90 boarders.

Melbourne Girls Grammar was founded in 1893, as a private school in Domain Road, South Yarra, by Emily Hensley and Alice Taylor. In 1900, the School moved to its current location in Anderson Street, and in 1903 it became the first girls' school to be owned by the Anglican Diocese of Melbourne. Merton Hall, the senior school of Melbourne Girls Grammar, was named after the house in Cambridge, England, where Newnham College began. The tenth Headmistress of Melbourne Girls Grammar, Christine Briggs, announced her retirement in 2007. Catherine Misson was appointed to the position of Headmistress in 2008.
