Harry F. Byrd Middle School (known locally as "Byrd Middle School") is located in the West End of Henrico County, Virginia (near Richmond). It was founded in 1971 in honor of the late Senator Harry Flood Byrd, Sr.

Byrd Middle School is a National Blue Ribbon School named for Harry Byrd, a Virginia Senator from 1915-1925 and subsequently a Governor of Virginia from 1926 to 1930. The senator was also a newspaper publisher, state fuel commissioner, and chairman of the Democratic state committee in 1922. Despite the senator being an avowed white separatist., the Byrd School (as it was then known) was a fully integrated school at its founding.

On April 2016, the local school board voted to be rename the school in response to a grassroots effort that convinced board members that having a school named after a man who vigorously supported school segregation was inappropriate. This was due to Byrd's vehement opposition to racial desegregation of the public schools, and advocation of a policy of "massive resistance" that led to closure of some public school systems in Virginia between 1959 and 1964. This policy created a large subset of black students who were denied their education in several Virginia counties. These students, many of whom are still alive, are known as the "lost generation."
