Lagos State Model Junior College Meiran is a state owned secondary school located in Oke Odo, in the northern part of the city of Lagos, Nigeria.
Before 2003, junior and senior secondary schools in Lagos State were under single administrative control. The government through the Lagos State Ministry of Education mandated all secondary schools in the state to be partitioned into junior (JSS1-3) and senior (SS1-3). This was what led to the establishment of the Lagos State Model Junior College Meiran from Lagos State Model College Meiran (founded on 19 February 1988) on January 6, 2003.[1] The other newly formed colleges in Lagos State where the ones in Badore, Igbonla, Kankon and Igbokuta.

Olatunde (2015 to 2017) and Mrs. O. A. Oyedokun starting 19 November 2017. O. A. Oyedokun was succeeded by Mrs H. O. A. Adesanmi on 15 July 2021.
