Montclair Kimberley Academy (MKA) is a co-educational private school for students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade located in Montclair in Essex County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The school was established in 1974 as the result of the merger of three separate schools: Montclair Academy, a boys' school founded in 1887; The Kimberley School, a girls' school founded in 1906; and Brookside, a coed school founded in 1925.

As of the 2021–22 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,025 students (plus 26 in PreK) and 168.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 6.1:1. The school's student body was 57.4% (588) White, 13.9% (142) Asian, 12.8% (131) Black, 11.6% (119) two or more races and 4.4% (142) Hispanic.

The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools since 1987 and is accredited until January 2025.
