Montfort Secondary School is a Catholic school in Singapore, founded in 1916. Originally named Holy Innocents' English School, it was renamed to its current one in 1959 in honour of the Founder of the Gabrielite Brothers, St Louis Marie Grignion De Montfort. Boys in this school proudly call themselves "Montfortians" and sons of Montfort.

Its motto, Template:Lang means "Do well in whatever you do." Montfort has celebrated its 90th Anniversary in 2006 with a 90 km run to its former location and a thanksgiving mass conducted by the Archbishop of Singapore, Nicholas Chia, who happens to be an old boy of Holy Innocents' English School (later renamed to Montfort School) at the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary which is the church that has been beside the old location of the school all along, and a dinner held at the school. The school has a high Catholic population and it has produced numerous Catholic priests, including archbishop of Singapore, Nicholas Chia, over the past years. Montfort Secondary School has recently received a Badminton Niche Award and so Primary 6 students can now apply into the school directly through Direct School Admission.
