Morristown Medical Center (MMC) is a 735 bed non-profit, tertiary, research and academic medical center located in Morristown, New Jersey, serving northern New Jersey and the New York metropolitan area. The hospital is the flagship facility of Atlantic Health System and is the largest medical center in the system, as well as in Morris County and all of northwestern New Jersey. Morristown Medical Center is affiliated with the Sidney Kimmel School of Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University.

The facility is an American College of Surgeons designated Level I and Level 2 trauma center by the State of New Jersey and has a rooftop helipad to receive and dispatch medevac patients. Goryeb Children's Hospital is located on the campus of Morristown Medical Center and specializes in the treatment of infants, children, adolescents, and young adults up to the age of 21.

Morristown Medical Center was established on November 19, 1892, and opened to patients just under a year later. With approximately 7,000 employees, the medical center is Morristown's largest employer and one of the largest employers in all of Morris County.

In 1889, Myra Brookfield bequeathed her home and property for the purpose of establishing a hospital. She stipulated that the community-at-large raise $15,000 to buy equipment and hire staff within three years of her death. In 1893, the house was too small for the hospital, so it was sold and the profits were put toward the purchase of a bigger facility – a former parsonage in downtown Morristown, used as a makeshift hospital by George Washington more than 100 years earlier.

Morristown Memorial Hospital opened its doors on October 17, 1893. Early on, the hospital established an isolation unit for patients with contagious diseases. As large-scale epidemics were a fact of life in 19th-century America, that ward helped to slow or prevent the spread of dangerous diseases in the community. In 1898 a new building for the hospital was donated by George Goelet Kip, named the Anna Margaret Home for Convalescents in honor of his late wife. By the turn of the century, Morristown Memorial had an operating room, X-ray equipment, a pathology lab and an outpatient clinic.

The hospital hired Jennie A. Dean, its first female doctor, to run the pathology lab in 1913, a full seven years before American women had the right to vote. Her sister, Elvira Dean, was hired to run the X-ray department.

• 1921 – The Outpatient Department opened its doors, a precursor to today's Emergency Department (although the hospital didn't replace its horse-drawn ambulance with a motorized one until 1924).
• 1938 – The hospital established a tumor section to study and treat cancer; that same year, radium therapy was introduced.
• 1952 – Morristown Memorial moved into a new facility on Madison Avenue. In the 1960s, the hospital doubled in size.
• 1996 – Overlook and Morristown Memorial hospitals joined forces as Atlantic Health.
• 2002 – Goryeb Children's Hospital opened adjacent to the Morristown Memorial Hospital campus.
• 2008 – Gagnon Cardiovascular Institute opened.
• 2009 – Morristown Memorial Hospital changed its name to Morristown Medical Center, part of Atlantic Health System.

In a ruling issued in June 2015, Tax Court Judge Vito Bianco ruled that the hospital would be required to pay property taxes on nearly all of its 40-acre (16 ha) campus.
