The Mershon Honorary Military Society (variously referred to as the Mershon Military Honorary Society or Mershon Honorary) was a student organization at Ohio State University.

Mershon, alumnus and benefactor of Ohio State University; the other subgroup was the Mershon Musketeers. Members of the Mershon Honorary Military Society were selected from the Army ROTC advanced cadets based on academic scholarship, military leadership, and campus leadership.
