Master of Commerce (abbreviated MComm, M. Comm, or MCom) is a postgraduate Masters degree focusing on economics, accounting, business and commerce related subjects. Like the undergraduate Bachelor of Commerce, the degree is offered in Commonwealth countries.

The MComm typically requires one year's study, and usually has a thesis component; some MComms are exclusively thesis based. The degree places more emphasis on theory and business principles than similair graduate degrees such as the MBA or MSF, and therefore, generally, focuses on one area of study. Some universities offer a general commerce program within the M.Comm.

Admission is usually on the basis of an existing Bachelor's (or similar compatible) degree - generally the Bachelor of Commerce.

The MComm includes a research component and thus provides access to a doctorate; progressing from the MComm, a student can pursue a Doctor of Commerce (DCom), Doctor of Business Administration (DBA), or a Doctor of Philosophy (Phd) degree program.
