Maritime and Science Technology Academy, commonly referred to as MAST Academy is a public high school in Miami, Florida. MAST Academy is a magnet school under the governance of Miami-Dade County Public Schools.

The academic focus of MAST Academy is primarily driven toward maritime studies. Students choose one of three major areas of study in which a traditional U.S. high school curriculum is infused with maritime-related subjects. These major areas of study are Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences (OAS), Maritime Studies and Culture (MSC), and Marine Related Industries (MRI). Some special course offerings include: Oceanography, Solar Energy, Environmental Science, Sea Classics, Swimming, Ethics and Leadership, and Water Safety.

MAST Academy is located on Virginia Key, a barrier island between Miami and Key Biscayne, across the street from the Miami Seaquarium and within walking distance from the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science.

As of the 2023-24 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,538 students.

The school's educational model has proven successful and is being "franchised" to other locations in southern Florida. In 2010, MAST Medical @ Homestead was established; in 2013, José Martí MAST 6-12 Academy opened in Hialeah; and in 2013, another MAST high school opened on the Florida International University campus.
