Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Taman Melawati (Taman Melawati National Secondary School, often abbreviated as SMKTM or MWT) is a co-educational secondary school located in Taman Melawati, Gombak, Selangor, 20km from the centre of Kuala Lumpur. The school has outperformed other high schools within the Gombak district in annual academic performance rankings. Top scorers in the SPM (Malaysian Certificate of Education) national examinations make up the school's alumni, and will typically be awarded a full scholarship from the government to pursue their tertiary studies.

The school has participated in events such as marching competitions, choir competitions, drama competitions and debate tournaments.

SMK Taman Melawati has a student body of approximately 1,800 pupils, aged between 13–17 years. Due to space constraints, classes are divided into two sessions, with the first session running in the mornings (Forms 3, 4, and 5) and the second in the afternoons (Form 1 and 2). There are 12 classrooms in every form, with 35 students in each class on average.
