The Bulgarian Men's High School of Adrianople “Dr. Petar Beron “ ( Bulgarian Одринска българска мъжка гимназия Odrinska balgarska maschka gimnasija ) was one of the oldest high schools in the city of Adrianople (Bulgarian Odrin, today Edirne), which in its time was still inhabited largely by Ottoman Greeks and Bulgarians from Thracian .

The former grammar school was founded in 1891 in what was then Ottoman Adrianople by the city's Bulgarian community. It was the first Bulgarian grammar school in Eastern Thrace and one of the most influential educational centers in the whole of Thrace. Among the founders, directors and teachers at the school were numerous notable intellectuals, scientists and public figures of the Bulgarian revolutionary movement as well as Bulgarian politicians of the 20th century.

After the Balkan Wars of 1912/1913, the Bulgarians were forcibly expelled from Thrace, and in 1913 school operations ended. On October 7, 1938, the Ministry of Education of the Tsarist Bulgarian Empire approved that a school in Swilengrad (formerly Mustafa Pascha) should be named the Adrianople men's high school.

One of the best-known students was Anastas Spasow Razbojnikow (1872–1967).
