Montegiardino is one of the 9 communes or "castelli" of San Marino. It has 910 inhabitants (October 2013) in an area of 3.31 km².

It is home to the University of the Republic of San Marino, the country's only university.

Due to its small size, it is the smallest subdivision of a country in population. It borders the San Marino municipalities Fiorentino and Faetano and the Italian municipalities Monte Grimano and Sassofeltrio.

Montegiardino was added due to the last territorial expansion of San Marino, in 1463.

Montegiardino has 1 parish (curazia): Cerbaiola.

Singer and Sammarinese Eurovision entrant, Anita Simoncini hails from Montegiardino.
