Morgan Monroe is a musical instrument brand established in 2001 in Indianapolis, Indiana, taking its name from the nearby Morgan-Monroe State Forest. The company focuses on affordable acoustic instruments aimed at bluegrass, folk, and traditional American music, with a catalog centered on mandolins, banjos, resonator guitars, acoustic guitars, and ukuleles. Instruments are manufactured in Asia and distributed under the oversight of Saga Musical Instruments, sold through authorized dealers such as Guitar Center and Musician's Friend rather than direct to consumers.

The mandolin catalog spans A-style, F-style, and Rocky Top models, including instruments like the MM-100 series and the all-solid carved MF-550F, with many models featuring the Ashton Bailey cast tailpiece. Beyond mandolins, the lineup includes bluegrass-oriented banjos, resonator guitars such as the MSQ-100, Rancher-style acoustics, and quilted-ash acoustic-electric guitars. The brand has a history of rotating its catalog often, introducing unusual finishes, tonewood combinations, wide-neck builds, and left-handed variants alongside its standard offerings.

All Morgan Monroe instruments are backed by a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for the original owner. The brand occupies a value-oriented niche within the bluegrass community, offering traditionally styled instruments at accessible price points for beginning and intermediate players.

Morgan Monroe has 8 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Banjos, Mandolins, and Electric Basses.
