Marselisborg Gymnasium is a school of secondary education in Aarhus, Denmark. The school is an financially independent self-owning educational institution under the Danish state.

Marselisborg Gymnasium was founded in 1898 by Olaf Gudme under the name Marselisborg Boarding and Learned School. The school became a popular alternative to Aarhus Katedralskole and was first expanded in 1904. From 1916 the school became owned by Aarhus Municipality and in 1973 by Aarhus County. In the Danish Municipal Reform of 2007 the Danish counties were abolished and Marselisborg Gymnasium became independent and self-owning like most other Danish educational institutions.
