Methodist Ladies' College (commonly referred to simply as MLC) is an independent school for girls in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, and is now one of the largest and well-known independent girls' schools in the state. MLC was founded on February 14 1882 by the Methodist Church of Australasia as "a modern school of the first order". It is now a school of the Uniting Church in Australia, with its main campus in Kew, and outdoor education conducted at Marshmead and Banksia campuses.

In 1990 MLC became the first school in the world to introduce laptop computers for all students from Years 5-12. In 2002, MLC won the title of 'Australian School of the Year', as published in The Australian newspaper.
