Mymensingh Medical College is a government medical college in Bangladesh. It is located in the Mymensingh District of the Dhaka Division. Mymensingh Medical Journal is the official journal of Mymensingh Medical College which is an Index Medicus/MEDLINE enlisted journal. Lytton Medical School

During the later part of the British India, it was felt that the people of the north-eastern region needed the services of qualified medical personnel. The then Campbell Medical School of Calcutta and Mitford Medical School of Dhaka were unable to cater for the needs of the growing population. With this background the third medical school for the region, was established in 1924 in Mymensingh, after the world war-1, by the EARL OF LYTTON, the then Governor of Bengal. This school was named as Lytton Medical School to run four year course of Licentiate of Medical Faculty (LMF). This course of LMF continued till 1962, when it was upgraded to a five-year undergraduate medical course under Dhaka University and the school was renamed as Mymensingh Medical College.

Situated 120 km away from the north of the capital city Dhaka, Mymensingh has a rich historical heritage. Having been once the administrative head quarter of the largest district in the whole of Indo-Pak subcontinent during the British rule, this district town has gradually developed itself from a sleepy quiet little town (declared a Municipality in 1869) of Rajas and Maharajas, Zaminders (landlords) and tenants and other professional into a big town, having all kinds of educational and institutions.

Standing on the southern and eastern bank of old Brahmaputra river the town offers a very convenient communication network of railway and roads with the rest of the country. Two hours drive away from Dhaka makes it one of the nearest and most accessible of all the district towns.

Mymensingh takes pride in the Jainul Abedin Art Gallery which has on its walls some of the finest works in water color by renowned painter, Jainul Abedin.

Among its other attractions is the Madhupur National park which is 35 km away to the north-east. It is a very popular picnic spot during the winter.
