Mount St. Mary Academy is a private, Roman Catholic, all-girls high school in the Hillcrest neighborhood of Little Rock, Arkansas. It is an all-female institution, and has an all-male brother school, Catholic High School for Boys. It is located within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Little Rock.

Mount St. Mary Academy was founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1851 at Seventh and Louisiana Streets in downtown Little Rock. The school moved to the present Hillcrest location in 1908 after outgrowing her Louisiana Street location. The 10-acre (40,000 m²) site was purchased with funds from the sale of the downtown property and contributions from local residents and landowners.^[2]
