Albert Einstein High School, named after the German-born physicist Albert Einstein, is a four-year high school located at 11135 Newport Mill Road, near Kensington in Montgomery County, Maryland, United States. The principal is James G. Fernandez.
It is within the Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) system, and is the home high school of Newport Mill Middle School and Sligo Middle School which in turn are fed by all or part of the districts of Glen Haven Elementary School, Highland Elementary School, Oakland Terrace Elementary School, Rock View Elementary School, Singer Elementary School, and Woodlin Elementary School.
As a part of the Downcounty Consortium, Einstein offers four "academies," academic programs that concentrate in specific fields.

It is also home to Montgomery County's Visual Art Center.
