The Melkonian Educational Institute (MEI) (Armenian: Մելգոնեան Կրթական Հաստատութիւն (ՄԿՀ); Greek: Μελκονιάν Εκπαιδευτικό Ινστιτούτο) was an Armenian boarding school of high academic standard located in Nicosia, Cyprus.[1]

Established in 1926 by the Melkonian brothers, it was the only remaining boarding school servicing students of the Armenian diaspora from nearly 40 countries.

Formerly financed by the Armenian General Benevolent Union, a decision to cut off funding in 2005 caused controversy among the Armenian community and especially among former pupils.

Melkonian's current status is uncertain.[why?]
