The Svetozar Marković Gymnasium (Serbian: Гимназија „Светозар Марковић” Суботица, Gimnazija „Svetozar Marković” Subotica, Hungarian: Svetozar Marković Gimnázium, Szabadka), colloquially known as the Subotica Gymnasium, is a public coeducational high school (gymnasium, similar to preparatory school) located in Subotica, city in Vojvodina, Serbia.

[1] By a 1845 law, Latin as a teaching language was abolished with the introduction of Hungarian in its place.

The Gymnasium was renamed the State Mixed High School in 1920 and soon divided into male and female branches.

In 1990 the school was named after Svetozar Marković, Serbian political activist, literary critic and socialist philosopher.
