Maktab Rendah Sains MARA Terendak, commonly known as MRSM Terendak, is a member school of a group of co-educational boarding schools known as MRSM (abbreviation of Malay: Maktab Rendah Sains MARA) or alternatively known as MARA Junior Science College or MJSC. It is located in Terendak Camp, Malacca in Malaysia. The school is located in a 19-acre area within Terendak Camp which is the largest military camp in Malaysia. MRSM Terendak currently can accommodate up to 700 students from the age of 13 (Form 1) to 17 (Form 5).

MRSM Terendak was established in cooperation between Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA) and the Ministry of Defence. It shares the same vision and mission of MRSM but with a priority towards enrolling selected children from the military families. The school began its operation in July 1983 with a total of 300 students, including students from MRSM Balik Pulau, Pulau Pinang. The first registration of MRSM Terendak students took place on July 23, 1983. In the first year of its inception, a total of seven teachers were assigned to teach. The first Principal was Mr. Asrokin bin Sanuji. His two sons, Azharuddin dan Akmarizwan graduated from MRSM Terendak in 1994 and 1996 respectively when Mr. Asrokin was the Principal at MRSM Jasin (now MRSM Tun Ghafar Baba), Malacca.

MRSM Terendak was inaugurated in 1993 by the Honourable Tun Ghafar Baba, who was then the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia. MRSM Terendak had its Silver Jubilee Celebration in 2008.

MSRM Terendak at its inception is made up of a big rectangle building which is known as the Academic Building that consists of 18 classrooms, a Teacher Work Room (Malay: Bilik Kerja Guru (BKG)), an Education Resource Centre (library) (Malay: Pusat Sumber Pembelajaran (PSP)), science labs, a gymnasium and other rooms. At the centre of the Academic Building is a large hall named Malay: Dewan Budiman that can accommodate 700 people at one time.
