Venado Middle School is part of the Irvine Unified School District and is located in Irvine, California.

It is a national Blue Ribbon School (as of 2005). With Deerfield Elementary School and University High School, it operates Orange County's Regional Deaf and Hard of Hearing Program. Venado's mascot is the medieval knight, and is referred to by Lakeside Middle School as "Venerdo."

The school was opened in 1975. It has a unique two-story architectural layout and outlined with three stories of buildings with most of the second story open to the first, connected by a series of bridges. Although a two-story structure, the building actually has three different floor levels, as some of the classrooms are slightly "sunken" off to the sides of corridors and larger classrooms.

The band and orchestra program at Venado Middle School, as with the rest of the Irvine Unified School District, benefits from the fact that music is required in grades 4-6 in IUSD schools. In 2005, the school was remodeled to have a more "modern" look. The renovation was completed in December 2006.

Venado is also home to a National Junior Honor Society and requires straight A's for two consecutive trimesters to qualify, as do many of the other middle schools in Irvine.
